We aspire to create, leverage, and implement disruptive, innovative, and sustainable educational practices and policies in India and other places where our Vision and Mission and model of education can be applied. We aim to utilize state of the art technology structures for furthering educational goals, build intellectual capital, and enable transformative and equitable global citizenship for all marginalized and disadvantaged sections of society.
The initiatives of the NEI shall support and augment the Indian governments enacted laws of Right to Education (RTE) and the New Educational Policy (NEP). It will pursue the United Nations declared Sustainable Development Goal 4 that seeks to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. It applauds and upholds the contributory work of many Philanthropic and educational enterprises that are doing their best to advance global education.
The NEI seeks to apply Disruptive, Innovative, Ideation Creative and Adaptive future-oriented sustainable technologies to effect transformative changes. It will apply qualitative delivery methodologies to enhance educational services and produce advanced learning outcomes for all individuals ensuring equity in education. It will foster growth, advancement, fraternity, national integration, employment, entrepreneurship and contribute to the national and global economic, social and political growth.
Mission Implementation
To build institutional centers and equip them with the most advanced pedagogical tools and LMS (Learning Management Systems) so as to empower the schools, teachers and students brought under them; eventually, each of these institutions will evolve as autonomous learning centers of excellence that foster the welfare of the individual and the society.
To build Lead centers that serve as the drivers of change. The Lead center will avail Pedagogic specialists, Culture specialists, Syllabus/Curriculum and Lesson Planning experts, Mentor Teachers, IT specialists to design and build lessons from KG to XII grade. It will build LMS (Learning management systems) that will have MOOC Technology and IT apps and use them to teach Lessons by Mentor Teachers via Broadband to Recipient schools throughout the region. Students in Recipient schools will avail these high-end lessons taught by Mentor teachers. The adoption of Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) technology and IT apps will enable the rapid spread of education and ensure the compliance of Attendance, Performance, and other indicators of progress.
Objectives and Goals of NEIEA
NEIEA PARADIGM: A TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION MODEL
The NEIEA paradigm is a hybrid model of Education that combines Online learning with Onsite learning in a classroom setting. It is a TRANSFORMATIVE MODEL of education as it enables massive learning using Technology; it embeds quality in the learning process; builds critical thinking by applying Pedagogy in lesson preparation and delivery; provides continuous Teacher training; ensures monitoring of student performance and prompt correction; assists school management and supports community involvement in the educational process.
Working of the Paradigm
It is composed of 4 main clusters. The flowchart shows their integration. The clusters are 1) Policy Making and Steering Body 2) Lead Education center 3) Partner School/College Management 4) Recipient Educational centers.
The first cluster builds the policy in consultation with National and Global advisors and in consultation with Universities and Educational associations. It will follow government mandated recommendations and communicate with the officials of the Education Ministry at the state and Central level.
A Lead center (Cluster 2) for building lessons in English, Math, Science, and other subjects is established. The lessons are built using Discourse Oriented Pedagogy (DOP) and are crafted for Online delivery. The lessons are constructed by the joint effort of the Pedagogists, the Subject experts, the Technologists, and the Mentor teachers. The latter are trained to deliver the lessons online to the students. Each subject will cater to 4 levels as formulated by the New Education Policy of India… Lower primary level (age 6 to 10), Upper primary level (age 11 and 12), High school level (age 13 to 15) and Higher secondary level (age 17 and 18).
Partners (Cluster 3) are identified who share the vision and objectives of NEIEA to implement the prepared lessons. Partners are established credible educational institutions. The partners choose the segment of Education that they would like to work in. The segments are those social groupings that have been neglected and deprived of good quality education. The segments include 1) Low quality schools teaching in urban and rural areas 2) Girl’s education 3) Madrasa education 4) Vocational and Technical education 5) Out of School (Drop-out0 Education 6) Special education 7) Adult Education.
The identified partner becomes a stakeholder with NEIEA in advancing education to that particular segment. The area of operation can be defined and mutually agreed. The two will build liaison with all Recipient Educational centers (cluster 4). These are centers that lack good quality education and are interested in building their educational strength. A collaborative revenue sharing agreement is agreed on between NEIEA and the joint partner. The Lead center will establish Infrastructure for delivery of Lessons from its center as well as establish Infrastructure at the Recipient Center to access the learning. Each Lead center will provide learning to hundreds of Recipient centers at one time using Technology. This will ensure quality in learning at the Recipient Center as high-quality lessons are delivered to the students by Mentor Teachers from the Lead center. The Lead center will also provide the Recipient centers with educational materials; train their teachers and help Management efficiently run the system through rigorous monitoring of Student and Teachers performance. This will create a massive new means of educational advancement.
