This is one of those Monday morning motivational quotes by Leadership First that happened to coincide with the new training initiative by us at the Agarkar Centre of Excellence (ACE) – Empowering School Leaders that got me thinking about the National Education Policy 2020 and how everyone is talking about implementation, and simply not enough […]
There are strong indications that India as a nation is ‘not-too-keen’ on commencing the physical world operations in its public or private sector schools, at least till the end of the year. Speculation was strong during the unlockdown phase 1 and media continues to throw up different reports on what States are thinking, third party […]
The National Education Policy (NEP) has dedicated a fair amount of importance to the role of teachers when envisioning how the future of this great nation will be defined, and positioning India as an education super power in the years to come. Detailed paragraphs about Teacher Education, Recruitment & Continuous Development was a highlight for […]
Details of State wise Implementation Plans & Processes of the new National Education Policy (NEP) is the overwhelming public response to what the Centre has put out there as a vision document for this country as ‘The NEP 2020’. There are educators who are sceptical about its ‘mass’ appeal, and are worried that the vision […]

The National Education Policy (NEP) announcement yesterday has created a new sense of excitement for educators (a welcome break from discussing the virtues of online learning, how one can optimise, when schools will open, and whether or not parents should honour their fee commitments). Since last evening social media has been abuzz with discussions, questions raised, doubts […]
Sunday afternoon got educators from across the country together – North, South, East and West as one voice, #SaveOurSchools. This mind you took only a matter of minutes to form a common group of like minded educators and parents only days ago, and one virtual meeting on Saturday (these days, in the education space anything […]
A friend who has no children (not out of choice mind you!), a very successful entrepreneur whose worked globally contributing to the efforts of several relief organisations for children very candidly asked me yesterday about the hue and cry about ‘education and fees’. What’s the real narrative she asked me, because according to her (from […]
Through the numerous online discussions, it is evident that flexibility and acceptance of changing variables is non negotiable and perhaps a more ‘healthy’ way to approach processes in the next few months.
