Education fraternity is striving to achieve and write great stories of success in building schools. Let us see how educational institutes’ goals and aspirations are positioned and what their major challenges are. Goals and aspirations of the educational institutions include:
- To make every student a champion in life, create extraordinary alumni and ambassadors of the school.
- Teachers to become experts, who can attract the least performing studentstoo.
- Make the school to be an easy to do business organisation.
Technology can simplify all these three areas when adopted at different levels. It can help students, empower teachers and power schools like never before.
Helping students: Experiential /
activity-based learning is one of the ways the Western world taught students and the success ratio is much higher. Experiential learning helps to develop and promote innovation, entrepreneurship and to inform and disseminate knowledge for nation building and solving global problems.
Empowering teachers: The academic heads spend majority of time to improve the quality of education in the institute. The major task is to empower the teacher to do more in the classroom, so that students do not have to run for additional support. If we have a datum that explains the standard teaching and teaching tools in an organised manner it can certainly assist the teacher to rise to the standard expected, where by freeing the academic heads of a major concern. This enables the academic heads to focus more on bringing something New, Next and Better in education.
Powering schools: The school deals with students, parents, teachers, vendors, Government departments and so on. There are a lot of administrative, managerial and leadership factors in building a great institute. Hence, operational, building and growing the resources are the major responsibilities of authorities. 80% of their time is in general occupied for operational activities, which are purely managerial.
Majority of these are repetitive in nature, hence bringing automation and delegating to a machine would be the best idea and saving a lot of the time. This will help the management to be ‘on the business’ and focus on building and growing the resources.
Infact the management’s success is measured by assessing the four factors- The customer satisfaction, market share, revenue and the balances on P/L sheet. Entab understands the pain and problem of the schools and we are here to help schools increase their profit and reduce their losses, helping the entire community to survive and thrive for the last 22 years. We do make this journey with many good schools who could transform themselves to be better in the education sector.
