The knowledge society in 21st century|
| | |
The world in the 21st century will be a knowledge based society with multiple opportunities. When I was studying a book, “Empires of the Mind” by Denis Waitley, the book gives, what type of the new world that we are facing now? What was yesterday and what is today. I have modified certain points of the author to suit our conditions. I have also added a third line which relates to action of an educational Institute. It specially says that “what worked yesterday, won’t work today”.

Today- synergy is the mandateEducational institutions will be enabler of intersection of multiple faculties towards mission goals 3. Yesterday – leaders commanded and controlled Today – leaders empower and coach Potential Leaders will be empowered through exposure to the needs of sustainable development 4. Yesterday - shareholders came first Today – customers come first Education should inculcate sensitivity to “customer” needs 5. Yesterday - employees took order Today – teams make decision Educational institutions can inject team spirit
6. Yesterday - seniority signified status Today – creativity drive status Educational institutions is the breeding environment for creativity 7. Yesterday – production determined availability Today – Competitiveness is the key Competitiveness is powered by research and university has to have the motto of “teaching-research-teaching” 8. Yesterday - value was extra Today – value is everything Value based education has to be introduced as a part of the curriculum, at least for one hour every week 9. Yesterday – everyone was a competitor Today – everyone is a customer During education industrial and entrepreneurship training is essential 10. Yesterday - profits were earned through expediency
Today – Work with integrity and succeed with integrity.
Home and education places should become learning places
I am sure, LIBA will keep these aspects of 21st century in mind which will facilitate the students to learn what they desire to learn and become spiritually intelligent. | |
