பெங்களுருவில் உள்ள InspireED Conclave இல் திரு. நாராயண மூர்த்தி கலந்துகொண்ட ‘Education for Equity’ என்ற தலைப்பில் Teach for India குழு விவாதத்தை நடத்துகிறது.
குழுவில் பேசிய இன்ஃபோசிஸ் நிறுவனர் மற்றும் தலைவர் திரு நாராயண மூர்த்தி, “இளம் மனதை வடிவமைப்பதில் ஆசிரியரை விட முக்கியமான பங்கு வேறெதுவும் இல்லை என்றும், கல்விதான் மிக முக்கியமான பரிசு என்பதில் சந்தேகமில்லை என்றும் நான் உறுதியாக நம்புகிறேன். நாம் ஒரு குழந்தைக்கு கொடுக்க முடியும். இன்று, ஆசிரியர் பயிற்சியில் கவனம் செலுத்த வேண்டிய அவசியம் உள்ளது, இதன் மூலம் அனைத்து அரசு ஆசிரியர்களும் கற்றலைப் பொருத்தமாகவும் ஈடுபாட்டுடனும் செய்ய புதுமையான கற்பித்தல் முறைகளைப் பயன்படுத்த முடியும். குழந்தைகள் சம வாய்ப்புகளைப் பெறுவதற்கு, ‘டீச் ஃபார் இந்தியா’ போன்ற சிவில் சமூக அமைப்புகளின் ஆதரவை அரசுப் பள்ளிகள் பெற வேண்டும்.

Speaking on the panel, Mr Narayana Murthy, Founder and Chairman, Infosys said, “I am of the firm belief that there is no role more important than of a teacher in shaping young minds and there is no doubt that education is the most important gift that we can give to a child. Today, there is a need to focus on teacher training so that all Government teachers can also use innovative teaching methods to make learning relevant and engaging. Government schools should take support from civic society organizations like ‘Teach For India’ so that children can have equal opportunities.”
Speaking about the conclave, Ms. Tulika Verma, City Director, Teach For India Bengaluru, said, “The aim of this conclave is to spark a conversation on what an excellent education can look like and what it can do. There is an urgent need for all of us to see, experience and believe that a learning environment that is safe, joyful and at the same time outcome-oriented is possible. When we are able to create learning in a way that involves children as equal partners, we create outcomes that are more rigorous and more holistic. The only way to bring about change in the country is by transforming our classrooms into microcosms of India we wish to see. The problem of education is complex and requires the Government, private players and civic society to come together along with students and solve challenges. We hope this space provides the inspiration and the path to be able to do that.”
Through the day, participants stepped into the shoes of a child, experienced a difficult class and a joyful class, saw a range of solutions and participated in conversation and problem solving on how to create education that leads to equity.

Dr. Atul Kochhar, CEO, NABH added, ‘Our partnership with HSSC will assist us in further strengthening the entire ecosystem of patient safety and healthcare delivery. Over the years, NABH standards have brought paradigm shift in delivering healthcare services and it has helped in sensitizing heath care workers about their responsibilities. However, a country as diverse as India, growing at an unprecedented rate, requires many professionals who are skilled, continuously reskilling and upskilling. Today, our overall medical professional count per 1000 patients is much below than WHO standards across doctors, patients and para medics category. This partnership will also help us in exploring solutions and addressing this gap.’

HSSC – NABH partnership sets the path for recognition of skills for enhancing healthcare quality and patient safety. I hope this collaboration between HSSC & NABH would lead to an inevitable and essential shift in terms of recognition of skills, practical oriented training, and enhanced placement opportunities for certified healthcare professionals. This will have a major impact in better accessibility and early intervention in healthcare delivery in India.
