Reforming School Education | DR.JAYAPRAKASH NARAYANA | TEDxAnuragU

Описание: India has one of the largest school systems in the world, but is it truly delivering quality education?

Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, former IAS officer, founder of the Lok Satta movement, and a respected voice in public policy, shares his perspective on the urgent need for education reform in India.

With decades of experience in governance and institutional reform, Dr. Narayan explains how exam scores and rankings often fail to reflect the true quality of education. He explores the deeper challenges facing our schools: rote learning, outdated assessments, and the lack of focus on conceptual understanding, issues that continue to hold back millions of students.

Through data, global comparisons, and practical insight, he makes a powerful case for rethinking how we measure learning and progress. His vision calls for a system that delivers real, meaningful educational outcomes, preparing students not just for exams but for life.
