4. Objective
'The measure of intelligence is the ability to change' -Albert Einstein.
Throughout this project we want to bring limelight on the changes the
students have gone through past 10 years. Be it the change in the
academics or mental state of students. We took an interview of our
primary teacher and have tried to answer some interesting questions
like:
• Which generation is the better one
• How our behavior has changed through all these years
• How technology played an important role in child’s performance.

5. Project Report
The last decade has witnessed new paradigms in education, changing the
way students engage with courses and content. While the Draft National
Educational Policy (NEP) has attempted to bring in a more equitable
education system, NCERT is set to revise the curriculum framework, and
edtech is disrupting the way students learn and introducing them to blended
learning. On the other hand, skilling and entrepreneurship have become the
buzzwords of education and infused into the school curriculum and HEIs. The
focus overall is on strengthening the innovation ecosystem and making
education learner-centric.
With the rise of digital learning, both educators and students have begun
emb racing the concept of blended learning. This has paved the way for the
emergence of various edtech platforms wherein online courses are offered in
collaboration with national/foreign institutions and/or industry players to help
students stay market-ready. Its easy accessibility across geographies and
affordability has further widened its reach.

6. "Students look at learning outcomes since they do not want to study a
programme that will not yield anything conclusive. With online learning
having the right mix of industry and academia, students are becoming more
inclined towards it," says Mayank Kumar, MD and co-founder, upGrad.
However, Yogesh Deshpande, professor, department of Computer
Engineering, Vishwakarma University, Pune, says automation cannot replace
human interface in classrooms. "Making the learning experience interesting
and explaining complicated topics as per the audience can only be possible
in a classroom setup in the presence of a teacher.
The line between Education and Learning is getting thinner as the generation
strides on; with the traits of modern society. Although the definition of education is
still fenced in ideas surrounding School, Universities and Colleges, the term is
being used more liberally to mean gathering knowledge irrespective of formal and
informal sources. Against this backdrop, terms such as formal education and
informal education are losing their identities merging into each other. The
approach of new generation students towards education has facilitated this
concurrence, materialising the transforming qualities of Learning.

7. As modern society has grown more cognizant and aware about being
educated and learned, there has been a gradual decrease in the average age
at which a child is first admitted to a formal learning institution. Parents
being educated, children now are already half-baked, learning how to read
and write before starting their preliminary schooling. Moreover, new product
concepts blended with the insistences of modern society, such as Crches,
Playschool and Kindergartens have facilitated learning at a much younger
age. Parents are now more concerned about what their children are learning
rather than what they are enjoying. Being familiar with technology and
modern learning commodities, children now no longer differentiate between
playing and learning. This new trait of education and learning in children
facilitated the series of rather surprising traits following throughout their
later lives.
Growing up, as children are able to seize the higher ideas of education, the
answers they find to generic questions such as "Why Education?", "What are
its needs?" and other such open ended questions, are not parallel to those
that has been decades back. For example, a Research Center Survey found
that, for 86 per cent students born between 1976 and 2000, "getting rich"
was the priority, while 81 per cent of students in 1967 prioritised on having a
"meaningful philosophy of life

8. ". Similarly, the approach to education has changed and students are now more
holistic towards it. Earlier, there was a predominant belief about education
being over along with the university graduation. Now, students are quite certain
about the fact that education is a lifelong process and people are open to
learning at any stage of life, breaking the archetype of learning restricted to a
definite age.
The ideas related to learning, perceptions about schools and classrooms are all
through a metamorphosing phase. The idea to learn only within the classroom
walls in schools is longer relevant to students as they are open to learning from
anywhere, anytime. Digitisation, internet and web technology have assisted
massively to materialise this aspect of modern society. Learning on a timely
basis, keeping up with school timings and schedules are least followed by the
neoteric generation as they have access to resources and course materials from
anywhere at any time. Among the modern traits of education, a major one is
the concept of open education that facilitated learning beyond the boundaries
of universities and classroom. Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) are the new
face of education for the society. Open Courses have transformed formal
learning as a lifelong and continuous process, that can be started at any stage
and at any age. Moreover, Adult and Continuing education were introduced long
before.

9. Owing to new methods of learning, pedagogy has transformed and becoming more
customised, being inclined more towards students. Learning has become proactive in
contrast to retroactive learning proffered by the earlier propensity to follow only teachers
and their teachings. "Self Learning" emerged as one of the commonly preferable mode of
education. Technological revolution, or more precisely, Information and Communication
Technology have facilitated learning through open internet sources. This has transformed
learning as a process of gathering information. In recent times, websites such as YouTube,
Wikipedia and other information sites are considered as sources of dependable information
and learning material.
The changing traits of Education have empowered students. By inducing fundamental
changes in learning methodologies, and the approach to education, students are now closer
to their constitutional position in education system. The limelight has shifted from
educators, as it was centuries back, to pupils. Universities, Institutes, Colleges and Schools
became more student conscious with more attention towards their development. Apart
from this, Education centers are now attentive towards each student. Results, marks and
performance of students from institutes are now without large differences, proving their
equal growth and progress level. Moreover, education is now directed towards holistic
development of students, ensuring their intellectual as well as personal development..

10. Focus on Life Skills is among the central transformations of education. Side by side of
conventional subjects such as Science, Geography, Philosophy and Arts, Life skill
oriented subjects are becoming popular. In fact, Computer Education, Language
Learning and other such Skill based education are emerging to be more popular than
traditional subjects are
