1) Teacher education in India faces challenges including insufficient teacher supply and training, as well as poor learning outcomes, which some attribute to a "national crisis".
2) Open educational resources (OER) show potential to help train new and existing teachers by providing open access to curricula and pedagogical practices. However, barriers include lack of technology, skills, and attitudes toward using information communication technologies for professional development.
3) For OER to be effective in India, resources must be localized, technology and skills developed, and communities of practice built to foster sharing, autonomy, and peer support among educators.

OCCE 2018, Keynote: Amina Charania. This presentation highlights Constructivist use of ICT in education-India story and presents best practices in India in government schools.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines to perform cognitive tasks like thinking, perceiving, learning, problem solving and decision making; it is inspired by the ways people use their brains to perceive, learn, reason out and decide the action. Especially, AI makes a lot of footprints in education such as automated feedback, Intelligent tutoring, learning analytics, virtual agents, virtual reality, and an online proctored examination. This presentation describes the concept of Artificial intelligence and its pedagogical practices.

“The Role of Mathematics and Computer Science in Developing Countries“
Presentation:
"Viewpoint from Bangladesh"
Abstract:
"This presentation reiterates the stand of the academicians in the World Class University Conferences held at Shanghai that success of developing countries in facing challenge and competition of the 21st century will largely depend upon their ability to create world class universities. Now that horizon of every branch of science has been increasing, newer and newer branches are being added to the knowledge, the world needs many more knowledge workers than ever before. There has been an unfortunate trend of good science students continuing education in other branches implying that there will be lesser knowledge workers to push the boundaries of science and technology. This will necessitate popularizing STEM subjects among young students. Many developing countries are yet to appreciate importance of investing the prescribed 6% of GDP in education or 20% of budget allocation. For over populated countries like Bangladesh this may not be possible to increase allocation immediately. However, our initiative of Mathematics, Informatics, Physics, Chemistry and science Olympiads throughout the country, massive participation of students and guardians alike and winning medals from international events by our students do indicate that introduction of healthy Olympiad competitions may encourage young students to continue with science subjects and earn excellence. Academicians should also find ways and means of popularizing science not only among science students and faculty members but also among people of other walks of life through introduction of cost effective events like Olympiads. In fact we are looking for days when IMO, IOI, IPhO, IChO champions will be considered as superstars in a scale of Wimbledon champions or golden boot winners at least by science students and faculty members. Since developing countries are short of resources and infrastructures they must initiate innovative events to mobilize infinite energy and spirit of young people towards learning science and technology, and divert them from trivial pursuits. Ever increasing power of computers has created opportunity for tackling mathematical problems that are yet to be resolved. Revolutionary progress of computer science has created a great opportunity for developing countries to change their fate by harvesting benefits of this versatile technology that can ensure optimal utilization of their scarce resources and minimize wastage."

Report International conference @UNESCO.
The current report is an exhaustive account of the
discussion and debate at the International Conference
on Artificial Intelligence and Education (hereafter
referred to as ‘the conference’) held in Beijing from
16 to 18 May 2019. Under the overarching theme
of ‘Planning Education in the AI Era: Lead the Leap’,
the conference was structured into seven plenary
sessions and 16 breakout sessions complemented by
a live exhibition and study tours to facilitate forwardlooking debates, share cutting-edge knowledge and
AI solutions, and deliberate on sector-wide strategies.
The executive summary captures the five key areas of
take-aways and seven main trends in AI in education
emerging from the conference discussions
The Knowledge Review, thus, introduces an issue of “The 10 Most Admired PG Institutes in India, 2019” which features some of the most highly recommended and prestigious institutions.
Education 4.0 … the future of learning will be dramatically different, in school and throughout life.
Global connectivity, smart machines, and new media are just some of the drivers reshaping how we think about work, what constitutes work, and how we learn and develop the skills to work in the future. The concept of a “100 year life” becoming the norm, and the majority of that spent studying and working, means that learning will be a lot more important, and different, for the next generations. Most people will have at least 6 different careers, requiring fundamental reeducating, whilst the relentless speed of innovation will constantly demand new skills and knowledge to keep pace, let alone an edge.
“Education 4.0” is my vision for the future of education, which
1.) responds to the needs of “industry 4.0” or the fourth industrial revolution, where man and machine align to enable new possibilities
2.) harnesses the potential of digital technologies, personalized data, open sourced content, and the new humanity of this globally-connected, technology-fueled world
3.) establishes a blueprint for the future of learning – lifelong learning – from childhood schooling to continuous learning in the workplace, to learning to play a better role in society.

Monitoring and Evaluation Supporting School Improvement and EffectivenessEduEval Consultancy
There is an increasing emphasis on school success. Resources are not limited and the most precious of these is time. The time that teachers and students spend together needs to be effective so that student are capitalizing on opportunities to learn and ultimately achieving pre-determined educational standards. There are many different components to schools and factors that influence success. Educational leaders can readily become overwhelmed with where to start to make a difference. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) allows for purposeful evidence-informed decisions to become part of the school culture.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

• Resources localized in language and content
• A communities of practice approach that
gives teachers autonomy and access to peer
