Indian primary education school, Vega has announced its plans to tie up with Harvard Graduate school of education to set up a research program to explore the various components vital to ‘re-tooling’ Indian students, to make them future ready.
The collaboration will evaluate ambiguous and rigid educational structures that limit the latent potential in students.
Christopher Williams, doctorate of education leadership program, Harvard University said that Aaron Jennings, (Harvard Graduate School of Education), Himanshu Joshi (Columbia University Teachers College) and he had proposed a partnership with the school.
“There are similarities between the problem-based learning (PBL) approach at the school and some of the primary tenets and authors being studied in the Doctorate of Education Leadership Program (EdLD) at Harvard,” he said.
They discussed the widening skill-job gap in India and took note of the open classroom approach adopted by the school to embed ‘real life’ skills in its students.
