Learning, a teamwork

Q. How can the current state of academia be improved?

A. A lot of teacher training focused on developing skills is required. The emphasis should be on a model that focuses on practical rather than theoretical aspect of learning.

Q. Why do we see more women in teaching?

A. In India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh, you will mostly find female teachers because they feel the teaching job is ideal for them. Even I started my career as a teacher and again I wish to go back to teaching some day.

Q. What made you switch to the corporate side?

A. Hailing from a business family, I felt there was much more I could do than just teaching. However, I think teacher training is also a key marketing strategy. If we offer training, it will reflect in students’ performance.

Q. Does the batch strength affect the efficiency of a teacher?

A. Yes, it does affect especially in terms of practical offering. We feel that lesser number are better.

We are a little slow in grasping online learning. Pearson is shifting its focus on i-Pad-based learning and we are also moving into digital content. We have digi-board solutions and interactive board solutions where our curricula is mapped to the digital content. Teachers are also trained to use them. We even have printed textbooks that have interactive stuff and have a system where teachers can post homework on the internet. Click here to read full interview..
