TED Talk is one of my favorite podcasts that I like to listen to it which offers many successful experiences.
I subscribed to TED’s education podcasts to hear from some of the brightest minds in academia today which add helpful educational information for me.
The podcast that I listen to it this week is How to fix a broken education system without any more money? By Seema Bansal.
In that podcast, Bansal talks about the schools in her hometown in India which has a problem that she wants to fix it. Bansal mentions an interesting a story of a very large government system that has not only put itself on the path of reform but has also shown fairly spectacular results in less than three years. She forged a path to public education reform for 15,000 schools in Haryana , India, by setting an ambitious gaol: by 2020, 80 percent of children should have grade-level knowledge. She’s looking to meet this goal by seeking reforms that will work in every school without additional resources. Moreover, Bansal and her team have found success using creative, straightforward techniques such as communicating with teachers using SMS group chats, and they already measurably improved learning and engagement in schools of her home town.
