Editor’s Note:-

                All of us outside the IITs look and drool at the sophistication associated with the IITs. It’s time for us to hear the inside story. Here’s a no-nonsense interview of an IIT Professor who wants to be anonymous.

Correspondent’s Note:-

       Here is a man who speaks from his heart. The fact that he had to conceal his identity from the readers says it all. A graduate from IIT himself and now a professor at one of the most premier IITs, who has been there and experienced it all, shares his concerns and viewpoints on what makes the IITs nothing more than manufacturing units.

Editor’s note – The Author presents a very comprehensive view of everything that needs to be known about the RTE act.

 

Author’s note – The historical “Right of the Children to Free and Compulsory Education”, 2009 provides education a fundamental right for all youngsters aged between 6 and 14 and specifies the minimum top quality of education in public schools. It demands all private schools to reserve 25 percent seats for poor children for fundamental education (to be reimbursed by the State under the terms of public-private partnership). Child’s Right to Free and Compulsory Education also ensures that no child shall be held, expelled, or required to pass a State Council until the completion of fundamental education. There is also a stipulation for school leavers apt to education to exclusive training to make them equivalent with students of same age.

Editor's note - Once again, Kabir discusses one of his innovative approaches to education. This time it is his insightful way of involving parents in communicating with the educators. An interesting idea that can be implemented in schools.

 

Author’s note – I work as a Gandhi Fellow in Kaivalya Education Foundation. Based in Brihanmumbai, and functioning as Headmaster Sahyogi (Coach) for School Excellence Programme (SEP) in Municipal Schools of the city. Here I’m sharing a new idea of involving parents in the education of their wards by me in Mumbai Municipal Schools.
