Personalized learning
Learning will be made self-paced. Classrooms will not be based on similar ages, rather, they will be based on similar achievements and skill sets. There will lot of worksheets. Above average students will get harder tasks and questions. Students will enjoy positive learning experience. Variety of study tools will be developed. Students will enjoy both elearning and conventional learning in a hybrid classroom. One can find both blackboard and digital TV in all classrooms.
The role of mentor
The family level mentor will greatly influence one’s career development. Parents will be influenced more by such local educationists and mentors. Like family doctor, every family will have family mentor (Kula Guru). Philanthropologists, educationists, subject matter experts, PhD degree holders will take active role in mentorships. Parents will believe schools, just for securing a certificate from the Government and will not encourage hereafter the so called hi-fi techno and branded schools who have heavily commercialized the schooling system currently. Parents will not believe in macro-learning process. They will give more weightage to micro-learning provided by the local private mentors. Individual transformations of their wards taking place in micro learning centres at the residence of their family mentor will be realized greatly by the parents.
Delinking education from job
Formal education helps students to explore higher studies and research. Those who are keen on securing job will be trained in the skill sets required for the chosen job. The selection criterion for a job will be based on skill set only and not on the degrees. Lot of skill schools will be developed to create employement opportunities. Professionals and experts will run such skill schools. Governments and companies will fund more on researches and conventional educations in Universities. The job seekers will not undergo Univeristy education. Most of the private Universities exploiting and misguiding the job seekers will vanish. People will not support such Universities. There will be three types of educational institutes in each country. One is School Boards to provide conventional education till STD 12. Second is University to promote researches. Third is Skill School to provide job opportunities.
Skill set based approach
More associations and certifiying systems will be introduced for developing skill sets among students irrespective of the age group. The skill sets will be matched with the nature of job and students will undergo flexible training in such skill schools. The vanishing skill sets such as carpentary, plumbing, wiring, tailoring, embroidery, housekeeping, painting, etch will be revived. Advanced techniquies and tools will be included in such basic skill set trainings. Onsite training, projects, practicals will be the major assessments to declare the competancy level of trainees. Skill set matrix will be implemented for rating the efficiency level achieved by a candidate.
Free choices
Free choices will be given to every learner viz., job or service opportunity, research opportunity and business opportunity. Only competent and interested candidates will undergo research. Job seekers should have skill school certificate with skill set rating or prove themselves with the required skill set to get a job. Pressures like entrance examinations for a particular course will be eliminated since only the interested candidates will explore higher education. Free choices based on the merit, skill set and interest will be given to students so that all present days’ illusion and misconcept of considering degrees as a bowl for job will get away.
Project based education
Project report and presentation will be the key assessment for certifying a candidate’s proficiency besides the other modes of test and measurements. Collective projects will be given in the lower level and individual project will be encouraged in the higher level. Onsite learning, field or in-plant training will be the key factor to evaluate the project report.
Block chain digital certificates
Government and private institutes promote block chain digital certificates. The employers and other clients will register for obtaining and verifying the proficiency certificates. The hard copies of certificates may vanish one day!! Government of India has introduced Digilocker services. This is one of the best initiatives of Digital India Programme.
