Clinging to our roots and relying on this mutating technology, we are certainly entering in a new era. We cannot deny the fact that our education system has witnessed a sea change in the past few years and is being affected and swayed by it distinctly.

The pattern of teaching and learning is in an experimental phase. The methods now adopted for imparting or rather sharing knowledge are now more stimulating, pragmatic and definitely productive.

It’s time to embrace an empirical approach to disseminate the ideas and experiences. And here we land  to the concept of Futuristic Education.

Teachers and parents must join hands for this endeavour to make it a successful venture. Let’s delve into few skills need to be imbibed to prepare our brigade of students.

●   Experimental and Experiential Learning : Application of the acquired knowledge has become foremost. Practical methods are considered more effective than theoretical learning.

●   Joyful Learning : Fun and learning should be an intrinsic and vital part in imparting the concept.

●   Flexible Learning Patterns : Each child is unique in his or her own way. Respecting and understanding each child’s capability teachers should adopt flexible teaching methods.

●   Assessment Techniques : Teachers need to be innovative in the assessment methods too. They should prepare them to survive in this competitive world and help them to become a global citizen.

 As education in general is constituted of significant and relevant information and ideas, we as teachers must groom our students to reach the pinnacle and soar high in all spheres of life. With the words of Malala Yousafzai we may conclude that “one book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world.”
