But while adults try to
master in weekend sessions how to think creatively,
solve problems or work in cohesive teams, many
of our young learners in schools and colleges
continue to be obsessed with how to pass a test.
We can't blame them as traditional schooling has
been all about achieving near perfect scores on
exams that often test outdated skills. Besides
the only measure of teacher performance in schools
sadly continues to be 'how many first rankers
did she produce?'
But this is gradually changing.
When couple of years ago experts said that education
would soon be a sunrise sector, there were more
skeptics than believers at that time. But today
an air of excitement is almost palpable when you
walk across school corridors or listen in to conversations
in staff rooms.

| Preparing
citizens for the future with the skills
of the past has always been the bane
of our public education.
Today it could be the tragedy
of our times.
