THEQUESTIONS

Do we really have a problem in the

Indian Education System?

A resounding "yes!"

Who is to be blamed? People who are contributing are

blamed and those who watch are the

ones pointing the fingers.

When governments , policy-makers & the academia,

notwithstanding their earnest effort could hardlymake any real impactcan we do something about

it?

A definitive "yes!"

THEPROBLEMINOUREDUCATION

The problem lies in the serious disconnect betweenteaching, learning and assessment.

We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to

grow.Oscar Wilde

THEORIGIN

CAMPUS AROUNDTHE CORNER is a start-up NGO,

working towards a transformational community driven

movement for improvement in the quality of education

provided to children in India.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed

citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that

ever has.

CAMPUS AROUND was established in 2011, originally

conceived to publish informational materials to bringabout the intended change in the community. However,

on our interaction with various stakeholders in the

community, we realized that ACTIONSPEAKSLOUDER

THAN WORDS, hence we decided to get hands-on by

becoming a grass-root level organization.


11/19

THEWORKING

Campus Around is developing a framework for the

community involvement and will also deploy full-time

and volunteering resources to enable SCHOOLS to

adopt the model.

Other than providing the literature for the model andthe man-power, Campus Around will also, in

collaboration with the technology industry, provide

many Information and Communication Technology

(ICT) solutions for use by all the stakeholders.

Campus Around is an initiative to create a platform

for the entire community including administrators,

educators, parents, teachers and retired people,

among others, to contribute to the holistic

development of the child.


12/19

THEPROPOSEDTECHNOLOGY

SOLUTIONS

The proposed technology platform may include

a) an online portal,

b) objective driven social networking platform for

the stakeholders interaction,

c) platform to build a digital knowledge repository

of learning resources,

d) a not-for-profit online market place for

institutional needs fulfillment

CAMPUS AROUNDASACCE

ENABLER

Campus Around will help the teacher in honing the skills

acquired through training from C.B.S.E. to assess the

children as per the CCE* guidelines.

Campus Around will provide the technology platform to

assess the scholastic and co-scholastic areas as per theCCE Guidelines for the teachers to systematically and

progressively, plan, execute and monitor to produce the

intended result.

Campus Around & the School concerned will jointly ensure

that the parents are kept apprised of the progress of theirchildren as a result of the systematic approach mandated

in the CCE Guidelines. Campus Around will focus on

attracting the parents support and voluntary participation

for the holistic development of not only their children but

the community as a whole.* Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a system of school based assessment that covers all aspects of

students development.

THECOMMITMENT

Campus Around movement intends to bring about asustainable CHANGE and positive IMPACT by 2020for a minimum of ONEMILLIONCHILDREN and aboutHUNDREDTHOUSANDTEACHERS.

Campus Around hopes to MENTORAND MONITOR ourPARTNER SCHOOLS to successfully implement the CCEGuidelines initiated by the MINISTRYOF HUMANRESOURCES DEVELOPMENT (MHRD), GOI, through theCENTRAL BOARDOF SECONDARYEDUCATION(C.B.S.E.).

Once the CCE Model is proven in these Schools, weforesee all boards across the country adopting thesame or similar model for change and hence the focuson C.B.S.E. for a start, but Campus Around will notlimit its partnership to any particular board.


18/19

THEOUTCOME

Adoption of Campus Around model will eventuallylead to the education system transition from teachingto learner centered approach, coupled with theproactive community participation for holisticdevelopment of children as mandated by CCE.

Campus Around will assist the teaching communityby providing functional models, systems andprocesses, and technology tools to perform self-assessment which will enable them to identify areasrequiring personal/professional improvement inline

with their career growth plans. To summarize, Campus Around believes in helping

build an eco-system where not only children are givendue emphasis, but also focus towards sustainablegrowth and development of the teaching community.


19/19

THECALL

One of the needs of our society is a MECHANISMTOHELP OUR CHILDREN channelize the infinite

resources available at their disposal, but the CHANGE

will happen only when every member of the

COMMUNITY comes forward to JOIN THE CAMPUSand proactively CONTRIBUTE towards achieving the

desired OUTCOME rather than just blaming thesystem for its inefficiency.IF YOU STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE

PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THAT SOMEONE

REALLY NEEDS TO ACT, IT IS YOU WHO HASTO ACT.
