Future of Higher Education - Nine Mega Trends

Was interesting to listed to, and be part of a virtual book launch today. The Future of Higher Education - Nine Mega Trends, by Pattabhi Ram . 

It was nice to listen to great personalities like, our Vice President Venkai Naidu, Shivakumar heading ICT academy, Manoharan Sir now Chairman of Canara Bank, and Lakshmi Narayan who was earlier heading CTS along with Pattabhi Ram Sir. A great morning with lovely message. 

This is the story of a Child born to millennial parents in 2010. The games they play, their entertainment would all be different from earlier generation, so the curriculum and future. They would have a privilege of undergoing blended learning of classroom and online. They can do a combination or courses of their choice together like civil engineering + Equity market. Exams would be conducted anytime, anywhere. They would have access to online libraries, and education globally. Even a child from rural India can have access and graduate from Harvard, may be even without travelling for long. 



Education is not just for employment or for getting a job, Education is for progress, for character building, for knowledge and wisdom. These time of Emergency the COVID has seen a drastic change in the way education is being imparted. As emergency by itself say emerge victorious, now we are using the power of Technology. There has been shift in the education system from time to time, from Gurukulsytem, to Universities, and now online education. Reorientation of teachers training would be the need of the hour. Sage is moving from stage to being guide. In India Bharath Net has been implemented.  

Protect Nature, Preserve Culture for Better Future. A beautiful and dutiful book, waiting to grab it.
