Innovative Approach towards Delivering Education
Dr.Satender Narwal
Principal,Mukhi College Of Education ,Gohana
ABSTRACT: Education is central to
development and a key to attaining the
Millennium Development Goals. It is one of
the most powerful instruments for reducing
poverty and inequality and lays a foundation
for sustained economic growth. The
Government of developing countries are
formulating policies to help countries
integrate education into national economic
strategies and develop holistic education
systems responsive to national socio economic
needs. The impact of technology is and can be
extremely significant as far as the education
sector is concerned. It is only through the use
of technology that we can negate the
importance of physical presence and reach
every child in every corner of this country.
This flattening of the world will help us in
reaching out to not only various schools and
children of the country but the world as well.
The use of technology also makes the entire
process of learning not only interesting but
more impactful as well. The education sector
has, unfortunately, always held a reputation of
being a laggard as far as technology adoption
goes. The paper trying to delineate how,
information technology can help to improve
the quality of the education system in the
conventional Indian Classrooms.
KEYWORDS: Education, Information
Technology, Tech- friendly, Development,
Computer, Holistic Education System.
1. INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of the Strategy for
Information and Communication Technology
Implementation in Education is to provide the
prospects and trends of integrating
information and communication technology
(ICT) into the general educational activities.
Being aware of the significant role of ICT
(internet) in our life, especially in the
educational activities, education authorities
should be wise enough in implementing the
strategies to empower ICT in supporting the
teaching and learning process in the
classroom. ICT is not just the bloom of the
educational activities, but also it will be the
secondary option to improve the effective and
meaningful educational process. Shakeel
Ahmad, former Minister of State for
Communications and Information Technology
of India said that the skilled human resources
available in the country have made India a
global hub for IT. Rajendra S. Pawar,
Chairman, NIIT Group, India, said that there
are great opportunities in India. By 2020, there
will be a shortage of 50 million in the
working-age population of the developed
world, while India will have a surplus of 47
million. He said that the post-industrial period
is a "century of the mind", and if the
population is provided with education and
skills, India will gain from the demographic
dividend. The government should concentrate
on primary education. In the nutshell we can
say the future of India will be fashioned in her
classrooms. While India has made great
strides in improving its education system,
much still remains to be done.
2. GLITCHES IN CURRENT
EDUCATION SYSTEM Despite
impressive achievements over the past
years, significant concerns remain. The
major problems at school level education
systems are given below. According to the
report of Indian Education together with
District Primary Education Programme
(DPEP) Baseline Survey, only six to eight

students qualify for higher education out
of hundred students enrolled in class one.
Majority of them qualify in third division
and have poor performance especially in
english, mathematics and science subject.
1. PERFORMANCE- The major reasons of
poor performance include poor quality of
schooling and management, lack of school
facilities, distance from the schools, poor
quantity and quality of teachers, lack of
female teachers, school expenses and demand
of child labor.
2. TEACHERS TRAINING - There are large
number of under qualified teachers who need
further professional education and training as
they work. It was estimated that 51 percent of
teachers are either higher secondary qualified
or below, 3 percent are graduates, 10 percent
are post graduates and only 44 percent
received in –service training. This lead to
teachers not to get benefited from the new
advanced tools and techniques and have to
continue with outdated materials and tools.
3. STUDENT TEACHER RATIO- The
teacher student ratio has changed unfavorably
over the decades especially in primary
education and result in increase in work load
of the teacher.
4. LACK OF SUPPORT MATERIAL –
Teachers are largely rely upon conventional
tools like chalk and blackboard for teaching
and have almost no access to other supportive
tools like lesson plans, supplementary text
books, power point presentations, etc
techniques and tools.
5. FOCUS ON THEORETICAL ASPECTS
– There is no mechanism to ensure that
curriculum keeps pace with developments.
The material taught is too theoretical and
highly focused on learning by rote. Vocational
aspects are not adequately covered.
6. OUTDATED STUDY MATERIAL – The
books are not timely revised and contain many
times factual errors, students find it difficult to
relate examples and illustrations and there is
often a significant difference between
textbooks and teaching material used by
private and government schools.
3. CONTEMPORARY WAYS OF
DELIVERING EDUCATION
I. EDUCATION AT THE DOOR STEP
THROUGH TELEVISIONS: Tata Sky has
revolutionized the Indian education system
through its active learning package on the
idiot box i.e. television. This has supported the
conventional classroom teaching in a very
well manner. The programmes like active
English; active education packages are not
only helping the children to learn fast but
catching the attention of adults too. Where
children as well as adults can learn English
and many subjects easily and support the
conventional classroom teaching.
II. ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING
PROGRAM: Information technologies help
those students who are not able to attend
regular classes due to socio-economic
pressure. They can enroll for online distance
learning courses offered by various
government and private institutes and study
while working. This will also help to meet the
problem of scarcity of skilled teachers.
III. A DIGITAL LIBRARY: is a library in
which collections are stored in digital formats
and accessible by computers. The digital
content may be stored locally, or accessed
remotely via computer networks. The
advantages of digital libraries as a means of
easily and rapidly accessing books, archives
and images of various types round the clock.
The other benefits like potential to store large
information, reduce the cost of infrastructure,

staff and maintenance, audio books, multiple
access of materials, books, preservation and
conservation of data make it a popular.
IV. MOBILE PHONE AND EDUCATION:
The use of low cost mobile devices and related
handheld technologies are beneficial in
achieving variety of education objectives as
well as in lifelong learning and educational
outreach activities utilizing the mobile phone
to benefit the health and agriculture sectors
will also fall within the scope of this study.
V. EDUCATION GAMES: Schools can let
their students be familiar with educational
games adjusted by their teachers. Besides,
they can also support and facilitate their
students to have their own blogs in the
internet. In their blogs, the students can create
and write something, like an article, poem,
news, short stories, features, or they can also
express their opinion by an online forum
provided in the internet. They are able to share
experiences throughout their blogs to others
from all over the world. By doing so, I think
our young generation will get more and more
information and knowledge by browsing in the
internet. They can also create innovation in
web design that it may be out of the formal
curriculum content, but it will be useful for
their future.
VI. EDUCATION COLLABORATION
NETWORK: The technology alone cannot
solve the problem of providing the universal,
high quality education to a country as a large
and diverse as India. Education Collaboration
Network (ECN) approach can serve the
modern education system. Teachers in rural
areas can download material through a
community portal, and print out notes and
exercises to be used in their classes. The
quality of the content is self regulated in a
community portal like Wiki projects. Similar
way the materials receive feedback and review
by the users, to ensure good quality contents.
The material is also improved by the team of
experts who continuously monitor the quality
of the contents added by the users in the
portal.
EDUCATION COLLABORATION
NETWORK ALLOWS
Teachers and students to work together to
develop education and training materials such
as supplements to textbooks and teaching
support materials.
Teachers together with administrators can
identify the deficiencies in the study material
and text books and develop the solutions for
addressing the problem.
Easy access of education and training
materials to teachers and students.
It will help the teachers and
administrators to experiment with new
methods of teaching and training.
4. BENEFITS OF IT IN EDUCATION
I. DIRECT COMMUNICATION
Information technology allows teachers and
students to comment and discuss sections of
text books, link supplementary material for
further study, share lectures, exercises,
assignments, tests and so on. It also helps in
participatory development of training material
for helping teachers and administrators update
and enhance their skills.
II. TRAINED TEACHER In India the
student teacher ratio in primary schools is
40.20 while in secondary level it is32.70 as
per the data of 2007 sources world bank. This
shows that there is a shortage of trained
teachers in various schools and colleges. apart
from that there is large number of under- qualified teachers and many more need further
