Business World Education - January - February 2023

En este asunto

Schools reopened after a prolonged period of Lockdown
and uncertainty in early 2022 and education fraternity was
grappling with the learning losses of the last two years.
Still, the year was marked by a note of optimism, primarily
on account of the National Education Policy with its
wide-sweeping changes.
Usually, the educational fraternity is divided about the approach to
instruction – should it be disciplinarian or free of control; should instruction
be imparted in English or one’s own language; which narrative
of History is to be told, and so on. As many people, so many views.
But now, a consensus seems to be building around the NEP 2020. Its
emphasis on skills development, skilling being on par with academic
subjects, multidisciplinary approach, provision for accumulation of
credit points which can be then transferred, all these are welcome
moves, and the intent is right. There was optimism regarding these
changes in 2022.
The year 2023 onwards will decide the success of the policy, as the
execution on the ground, with eye for details will matter. In this issue,
we carry views of who-is-who of the education and skilling world
– NSDC Chairman Ved Mani Tiwari, IISER Thiruvananthapuram
Director JN Moorthy, IIT Roorkee and Hyderabad Chairman BVR
Mohan Reddy and Chairperson of IIIT Delhi Kiran Karnik - on how
they wish the reforms to be implemented and what changes they wish
to see.
