The document outlines an agenda for transforming the Indian education system through a community-driven model called Campus Around. The model aims to encourage children to achieve success by pursuing their passions, with support from family, school, and community. It identifies stakeholders and proposes programs to engage students, parents, teachers, and other community members. Campus Around will provide resources and a technology platform to integrate these stakeholders and help schools implement continuous evaluation as recommended by the education ministry. The goal is to impact over 1 million children and 100,000 teachers by 2020 through this community-centered approach.

School Without Walls: A ‘Learning Community’ in a Teacher Education SchoolFernando Luís Santos
This paper discusses the concept of learning community (Chocran-Smith & Lytle, 1993) and how it defines, modifies and structures the model of teacher education in a School of Education (Portugal). The increasing desire to improve the quality of student learning led a group of teachers to various pedagogical experiences that converged in both intervention and research project called School Without Walls. The teaching work and the community’s activity and development process represent a significant part of the pedagogical discussion of the teachers involved in the project.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. THE QUESTIONS
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
hardly make any real impact – can we do something
about it?
A definitive "yes!"
5. THE PROBLEM – IN OUR EDUCATION
SYSTEM
The problem lies in the serious disconnect between
teaching, learning and assessment.
We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to
grow. – Oscar Wilde
6. THE STAKEHOLDERS
Before we try to arrive at a solution for the problem, we
need to figure out who the stakeholders are:
Traditionally accepted:
Administrators
Government & Policy-makers
Teachers
Students
Other stakeholders, to
be included:
Parents?
Alumni?
Other members of the community, such as:
Retired people / home-makers??

8. THE SOLUTION – WE, THE COMMUNITY
Traditionally, THE RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
HAS BEEN VESTED WITH TEACHERS AND THE
ADMINISTRATION but with the transformation of the world
economy into a global village and the transition from
industrial to the information age i.e. knowledge
economy, THE PROACTIVE AND SYSTEMATIC
INVOLVEMENT OF ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS IN THE SYSTEM IS
THE ONLY SOLUTION to the problems in our education
system.
CAMPUS AROUND THE CORNER (hereafter referred to as
Campus Around) will act as a catalyst by providing the
Community Model, Technology Platform and other
requisite resources for seamless integration of the
otherwise disparate system.

12. PURSUE THY PASSION
Every child has limitless potential to persevere, pursue and
perform anything that they are passionate about undeterred.
They are not hampered, as much when it comes to thinking
about reasons why not to do things and they can be full of
inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking, provided their
energies are channelized.
Campus Around’s “pursue thy passion” is an innovative
program meant for children in the age group of 8-14
years. This programme will help them identify and work
towards their passion with the support of the community
around that includes their parents, teachers and mentors who
will assist them in pursuing the desired passion. This
programme is intended to create an ideal eco-system that will
foster every child’s pursuit of passion.
13. THE ORIGIN
CAMPUS AROUND THE 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 bring about
the intended change in the community. However, on our
interaction with various stakeholders in the community, we
realized that “ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS”, hence
we decided to get hands-on by becoming a grass-root
level organization.
14. THE WORKING
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 and the
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.
15. THE PROPOSED – TECHNOLOGY
SOLUTIONS
The proposed technology platform may include –
a) an objective driven portal & social networking
platform for the engaging children and other
stakeholders,
b) tools for teachers, compliant with CCE Guidelines,
c) platform to build a digital knowledge repository of
learning resources,
d) a not-for-profit online market place for institutional
needs fulfillment
16. CAMPUS AROUND AS A CCE 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 the CCE
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 their
children 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 student’s
development.

18. THE PARTNERS - EXISTING
Knowledge Foundation – An expert group promoting
Research and Development (R&D) in the fields of Social
Sciences, Information and Communication Technology
at the higher education level. Visit the official website at
www.knowledge-foundation.org.
Interfaith Foundation is an organization working for the
welfare of the world at large and has gone far beyond
the first step of just talking about religious tolerance. Its
being increasingly recognized that world religions have
much in common with each other. We are interrelated
and interconnected with each other. We are not a group
of islands but a Global Village. Visit the official website
at www.interfaithfoundationindia.com.
19. SEEKING PARTNERS FOR CHANGE!!!
Campus Around being a community driven movement
for change believes that the value that these partners
bring in would eventually lead to achievement of the set
goals.
Other than the partners such as Schools, Community
and those defined in the model, Campus Around is also
seeking for partnerships in various geographies across
the global who are having varied grass-root level
expertise in the fields of:
Capacity Building
Information and Communication Technology
Organizations working for social transformation with
special emphasis on education
Organizations working in campaigning and
implementation of `adult literacy programmes
20. THE COMMITMENT
Campus Around movement intends to bring about a
sustainable CHANGE and positive IMPACT by 2020 for
a minimum of ONE MILLION CHILDREN and about
HUNDRED THOUSAND TEACHERS.
Campus Around hopes to MENTOR AND MONITOR our
PARTNER SCHOOLS to successfully implement the CCE
Guidelines initiated by the MINISTRY OF HUMAN
RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT (MHRD), GOI, through the
CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION (C.B.S.E.).
Once the CCE Model is proven in these Schools, we
foresee all boards across the country adopting the same
or similar model for change and hence the focus on
C.B.S.E. for a start, but Campus Around will not limit its
partnership to any particular board.
21. THE OUTCOME
Adoption of Campus Around model will eventually lead
to the education system transition from teaching to
learner centered approach, coupled with the proactive
community participation for holistic development of
children as mandated by CCE.
Campus Around will assist the teaching community by
providing functional models, systems and processes,
and technology tools to perform self-assessment which
will enable them to identify areas requiring
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 given due
emphasis, but also focus towards sustainable growth
and development of the teaching community.
22. THE CALL
One of the needs of our society is a MECHANISM TO
HELP 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 CAMPUS and proactively
CONTRIBUTE towards achieving the desired OUTCOME
rather than just blaming the system for its inefficiency.
IF YOU STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM
STILL EXISTS AND THAT SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS
TO ACT, IT IS YOU WHO HAS TO ACT.
BE THE CHANGE!!
