Pune Steps Towards Global Education,By Mrs Gupta, Section Education
FLAME - Foundation for Liberal & Management Education:
Education,both experimental and formal has existed with the dawn of mankind.Formal education took place in Gurukuls and Ashrams, which were meant only for a fortunate few from the society. It was a highly selective process and not everyone had access to it. Education in this phase was a source to train implementers and administrators. Another phase of education occurred where it became universal, available to both girls and boys and slowly became job and occupation driven. In this focus of job and occupation, concept of values and learning for life became marginalized. Education itself got fragmented into bits and pieces of knowledge. This knowledge transformed itself into absolute knowledge.This knowledge got linked to careers and occupations,which in turn got linked to lifestyles. This kind of borrowed education would only create spectators and observers who will stand apart criticizing the country,all systems and educational institutions.Hence the need for a Value based career education. Coming to Indian context,slowly but certainly a quiet revolution is taking place.India has experienced,encountered and lived with several revolutions.Beginning with industrial revolution about a hundred years ago, which today is thriving, to the green revolution, to the white revolution, to IT revolution to India standing at the threshold of educational revolution. In small ways beginning with and few learning institutions the focus is on perspectives in addition to skill building, philosophical understanding in addition to analytical abilities, a process of learning in addition to memorizing and exams and most important to engage and relate to the whole person. Here the student learns to integrate thoughts (knowledge) behavior (including emotions and feelings) and actions.Educational institution of such a nature focuses on the processes of growth, makes the learning interactive and participative, involves the various constituencies viz students, teachers, administration, staff and the external environment in a coherence, convergent and vibrant setting.This means there is time space and people who discover values to live by, who engage with each other, groups and systems with respect and dignity, who learn to make tough choices and not compromises and who work with self discipline as well as rigor of learning which creates excellence in innovators and entrepreneurs.
Such a process has begun in India.Such learning institutions are taking small steps towards creating new knowledge relevant for times, evolving new frameworks and theories, understanding the global context and insights into the strengths of the socio - cultural collective psyche which can be mobilized for a learning process where the individual student and the teacher discover the magic of the learning experience and translate into wisdom.
