The Balancing Act
The concepts of change, evolution, and up-gradation are not just limited to living beings. Organizations, whether they be commercial, governmental or other, need to upgrade themselves with changing times to stay relevant. Just like the strongest of a species, organizations that manage to transform, stay profitable and those who do not, simply perish.
For educational institutes, the new decade has already started on a note that speaks, or rather screams, ‘change’. The sudden push towards imparting education by utilizing digital mediums has opened up opportunities. At the same time, it has also exposed how unprepared we are. While the cities found it easy to migrate to the new systems, the small towns are still facing glitches, technical and otherwise. As for the villages, they need action, instead of words.
The current situation has given a chance for institutes to focus more on integrated learning solutions. Instead of waiting for complete digitalization, here’s a chance to figure out a balanced way to give the best of modern and traditional education. A flexible curriculum and routine that can take care of educational needs and the socializing factor in education need to be worked out.
This is also an opening for the educational institutes to venture into uncharted territories. Instead of bringing students to the Universities, here’s a chance to go the other way round. Financial, social, and geographical conditions of students, might be deterring them to go and earn their degrees. Through the digital medium, these limitations can be overcome, if one desires to. Investing in some basic infrastructure facilities in a remote town or village can go a long way in increasing the goodwill of an Institute and the literacy rate of our country.
For most institutes, the transition has already started. What remains to be seen is how they leverage the opportunity and manage to outperform themselves. The new academic session has already begun and new guidelines are all set to be followed. Together, the institutes and students are all set to explore the limitless space that can be covered under the new normal.
