It has been blamed that B-Schools are using an outdated curriculum, having less focus on skill-building, unable to establish ‘industry connect’ and failing to impact graduate attributes that are valued by today’s employers such as problem-solving and decision-making skills, leadership, work effectively as a team member, intrapreneurship, and the ability to grasp and manage complexity and dynamics in organizations and in the profession.

Within a short span of just eight months, schools and students find themselves in a virtual learning era.

DESIGN-CENTRIC EDUCATION – IMPERATIVE FOR THE POST COVID WORLD AND ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT
Education Disrupted The disruption unleashed by COVID-19 has shaken the education system at all levels - primary, secondary, and higher education. However, institutions seem to hold on to their discipline/faculty-centric and teaching-oriented model. Most are busy transferring this model into online platforms with controls such as attendance and proctored online exams. On the other hand, students are figuring out ways to make sense of the burgeoning academic knowledge and expectations, while grappling with issues of internet connectivity, availability of computers, ergonomics of increased screen time, and learning to beat the system. The fundamental qualities of learning the real world continue to be accidental biproducts, if at all.

CREATING FUTURE ENTREPRENEURS: BENEFITS OF GIVING ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING TO STUDENTS FROM A NASCENT STAGE
In a world that has been constantly evolving and developing with technology and innovations, the K-12 schools have remained a stagnant entity. Education is primarily the driving force of every nation’s economy – directly or indirectly. No doubt, many schools have modernized themselves, and have taken to learning by doing as their students work in groups to brainstorm and solve problems, dabble in online learning, and integrate science with arts. Still, it is often observed that students who graduate lack the necessary skills and out-of-the-box thinking needed to tackle and get through the modern-day workplace challenges. Teaching entrepreneurship does not only develop the capacity to start companies but even to think innovatively and ambitiously. Hence, including it in the school curriculum will prove beneficial.
