Collaborative Learning Model

85% of a teacher’s time is spent in routine tasks: preparation and delivery of content (4 out of 7 periods a day), formative and summative assessments, house-keeping and record-keeping chores. As a result, she finds it a challenge to spend quality time and personalize learning; to teach the child, and not just the subject. After all, that is her primary role.

We intend to introduce teacher-robots in the near future; they will make the teacher more relevant than what they are today. This will be marked by complementary between human teachers and robots as shown below:

From the CEO/MD’s desk

Most innovations, from the wheel, the flint, to the self-driving car, are as a result of imagination and curiosity. This is why curiosity is unique to human beings.

At Indus, curiosity, innovation, lifelong learning and developing a philosophical mind, are, therefore, part of the leadership and innovation curriculum. It’s not surprising that a one-unit increase in curiosity leads to a 34% increase in creativity.

We will go even one step ahead. Curiosity by itself does not lead to sustainable innovation. Children must know how to think.

 

With warm regards,
