Technology- Oriented Education for Non-traditional Students

Higher education needs to focus on the success of non-traditional students as well - by leveraging new technology solutions that better align with students' life challenges, pace, and other unique characteristics.

The new reality of higher education contains a fundamental shift in student demographics. More non-traditional students are seeking educational opportunities and traditional students are seeking out and expecting alternative modes of curriculum delivery. Students, especially non-traditional ones seek course delivery through distance education formats such as online or videoconferencing that meet the needs of their lifestyle that includes career, family and other responsibilities. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, students who graduate with a two- or four-year degree in hand can expect to earn up to 70 percent more than those who complete only a high school diploma.

Blended Learning: A Rising Innovation in Digital Education

Over the past decade, digital- and online-learning options have become more popular and more widely used in public schools, although many schools have been slow or reluctant to adopt new technologies for number of complex reasons, ranging from inadequate funding, technologies, and computing networks to general organizational recalcitrance and resistance to change.

Given the fact that the internet and most digital learning technologies are still relatively new, instructional alternatives such as blended learning could be seen as reform strategies—i.e., by incorporating blended learning, schools and teachers are forced to change the ways in which they have historically instructed and interacted with students.

According to a 2010 study from the U.S. Department of Education, blended learning classes produce statistically better results than their face-to-face, non-hybrid equivalents. This may be partly due to the fact that this rapidly growing model not only increases the flexibility and individualization of student learning experiences, but also allows teachers to expand the time they spend as facilitators of learning.

Blended learning gives students the benefits of both online learning and in-person instruction. For example, students can work independently and at their own pace online, but still have access to the personal attention of a teacher and all the assistance, knowledge, and resources such an educator provides.

Texila Delivers distance and blended learning programs for some schools. We have a Robust Learning management system which provides synchronous learning experience to the students located in all possible parts of the world.

Why Higher Education Values International Schools?

In nearly all aspects of life, we want our time and money spent well. Same is true for those in pursuit of higher education. Today's students attend college for a variety of reasons, and whether enrolled in a degree/certificate program or personal enrichment course, everyone wants their money's worth. But how exactly is "value" assessed? Students get the best bang for their dollar when a quality education is offered at an affordable price.

Evoking a term like value in higher education conversations often leads people to think about salary -- focusing on the economic and workforce benefits of a college degree. Certainly, that's a critical and practical part of the equation. But, value should also focus on outcomes that prepare students for lifelong learning and long-term professional success and contributions to the social good.

The number of students attending international schools worldwide is predicted to increase from 3.82 million enrolments in 2015 to 8.26 million by 2025. However, there is a rapidly increasing demand from different countries for an English-medium education.

Currently, the gross enrollment rate in primary schools has reached over 95%. Enrollment in secondary schools and in universities and colleges has also increased significantly.

Directing Towards the Quality Education…

Education, being one of the vital factors to fight against poverty and society inequalities, is necessary to provide knowledge and skills mandatory for a sustainable economic growth and overall progress. Education should be made available to all irrespective of the caste, creed or religion.

When Swami Vivekananda articulated his ideas on education, India was not free to fashion its own educational curriculum; but today this barrier has been removed. It is a matter of regret that six and a half decades of having the freedom to choose has not yet been able to find the “right” kind of education which will help to make a mark in the world.

Some of the challenges of the prevailing education include poor infrastructure, less access to resources, inefficient teaching methodologies, scattered career counseling and awareness programmes and a lot more.

Inadequacy in standardizing the quality of teaching, poor eligibility criteria in recruitments, time consuming recruitment procedures, meager interaction between science and society, fewer options for science graduates due to less intake capacity within the state etc are some of the highlighted factors to be changed to promote quality education.

Focused & time-bound initiatives are required to reform the current education system.

Modiji’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan – the Dream of a Clean India

The essence of the proverb “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” will be established by Modiji’s dream of a Swachh Bharat (Clean India). It is a big step towards a Clean India. No other Prime Minister has effectively sold the idea to the People of India, the Idea of Clean India.

This is Very important to us, for the reasons that it would make the cities and towns healthy, litter free and beautiful. It would help us attract quality tourists from all over the world, to India , A clean India. The Sense of Hygiene has deteriorated in India due to various factors like unplanned Urbanization, Mushrooming spaces and unplanned cities. Unhygienic conditions breeds many diseases that are vector borne, air borne and through other forms of transmission
Modi JI has been effectively pulling people from all walks of life Including Big names like Sachin, Salman to the small school kid in a remote town towards this mission.

The habits of cleanliness should be imbibed in children from the very beginning via organizing small games, poems, storytelling and conversation among others.There should be Initiatives at Community level, Organizational level and Individual levels. Every religious place should preach the idea of Clean India. Clean India is a Nationalistic mission and a National Movement.

HATS Off Mr Prime Minister
