Innovation in Education

What do you think of the present Indian Education System ?There are two types of schools in India — Government run and privately owned educational establishments. The governments are working for a higher literacy rate but it takes time to reach a level of satisfaction. The immense rise in private schools show that people are very much in need of quality education. Our country has a very good education system but the main problem is unemployment. People are educated but there are no jobs.Where does the Indian education system stand with respect to the global scenario?Our education system is recognised world over and our students perform brilliantly on the global platform. But, the books we refer to are very old and often outdated. Also, technology has become a part of everyone’s life nowadays. It is time for a change. When technology is included in education it generates interest in the child to study and to learn more. To bring about this change, Mexus-Education has been formed. Mexus works on the belief that learning is most effective when it is personalised, entertaining, voluntary and involves active participation by the students.Using the NCERT model of education, Mexus-Education has created innovative education solutions. How will this be applied in Andhra Pradesh?We will be coming up with the study material for the state syllabus books not only in Andhra Pradesh but also in all states of India within six months. I also have to add that there is a lot of competition when it comes to publications, specially in AP.Will Mexus reach out only to urban India or the rural areas too?We not only reach the urban India but also the heart of rural villages. Many villages have chosen as a part of the Mexus-Education project. We will provide all the study material, technical tools and also conduct special formal training for all teachers regarding the use of these tools.
