Even pre pandemic, I always believed that with the ‘skilling’ and professional development initiative that schools focused on for their teachers to keep them abreast of developments in the world and to be more inspiring in those classrooms, there needed to be a real directive towards ‘upgrades’. Research & Development continues to be an area […]
Nation wide K-12 educator participation has been requested as the state wise SOPs are being framed for the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 in the next academic year – from webinars to round table conferences, to surveys – you name it, and there is feedback about each aspect of the document before policies […]
We’ve heard from the Ministry of Home Affairs clearing the path to commence K-12 in the physical world post October 15th, 2020 and with that single announcement created a flutter given that different States would use their discretion and understanding of their numbers or cases, medical capabilities to decide if and when they would create […]
2020 has recorded a fair number of petitions for the K-12 industry since lockdown and un-lockdown times and I will admit, for unaided, private schools, the all-familiar areas of fee related writs make their rounds again.

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’.
