DigiQuity - AIF's Annual Education Knowledge event deliberates access, quality, and the future of learning in the post-COVID era

New Delhi [India], March 3 (ANI/PNN): The American India Foundation, catalyzing social and economic change in India for the past 22 years, organized the annual education knowledge event 'DigiQuity' at Silver Oak, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi today. Discussing access and quality, DigiQuity, showcased the power of collaboration to bring scale and innovation in education and discussed the new world order after COVID-19, and the role of STEM education and careers, in the future of learning. Helmed by AIF's award-winning flagship education Program - Digital Equalizer, 'DigiQuity' brought together 120 sectoral experts, policymakers, academicians, and corporates to cogitate on building back a better world for children, using technology as pedagogy and preparing them for 21st-century skills. The eminent panel consisted of leading policymakers, researchers, academics, and education practitioners such as Chintan Vaishnav, Mission Director, Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog; Dr Mylswamy Annadurai, Director, Moon Land Technologies, Former Director of ISRO; Dr Biswajit Saha, Director, Skill Education, CBSE; Dr Nisha Mendiratta, Head, WISE-KIRAN Division, Department of Science & Technology; Thavaseelan, IAS, Principal Director, School Education, Government of Nagaland; Smita Negi, Vice President, Head of Operations Management India, Bayer; Mabel Abraham, Joint General Manager, CSR - Larsen & Toubro Limited; Sanjay Gupta, CEO, EnglishHelper Inc.; Lt. Sanyukta Chaturvedi, Director, Digital Equalizer, American India Foundation (AIF); Aarti Gautam Shukla, Project Manager, SkillsBuild, CSR, IBM and Joshy Jose, Program Director, Learning and Migration Program (LAMP), AIF. With an overarching theme of 'Bringing together sectoral thought leaders to discuss the changing landscape of Education in India' DigiQuity kick-started with the keynote address by Chintan Vaishnav, Mission Director, Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog said "1 in 3 schools need tech labs. That translates to 70,000 schools in the country. AIF has served 24500 such schools and Atal Innovation Mission is working with 10,000 of them. That's where we can work together. India may be the champion of engaging with the community, but we haven't really articulated the program for the world to follow. That is the next logical step" Following the keynote, the inaugural panel, 'Technology as Pedagogy in School Education in the Post-COVID era', explored the philosophical/pedagogical foundations of education in the country, deliberating the shift to technology as a pedagogy, in response to the steep learning regression in students due to school closures during COVID-19. The Panel discussed how technology can be a driver in engendering competence and critical thinking among students. The second panel 'Ahead of the Curve: Innovation in 21st-century skills and STEM Education and Careers focusing on girls' questioned the gender and the rural-urban divide through the lens of access to quality education and technology. Panelists also reflected on the need for innovation in this space and how government, both at the national and state level, along with NGOs, and CSR partners can come together to institute systemic change. It also threw light on how to prepare children for future careers and explored efforts to redefine conventional schooling practices both within the framework of established learning sites and outside of it. Drawing from a rich tapestry of educational practices in India, the third session was a conversation with practitioners in the space to examine the success, challenges, and scope of experiments to address some of the key challenges in the education sector in India today. Discussing 'The Future of Learning and Making it Happen' the final and culminating panel heard perspectives of education and technology experts and explored new innovative ways to implement NEP 2020. Discussing student-centric engagement, digital learning, and their evolving need over the next decade, the session closed with a deep examination of how to institute models that will create and shape opinions that govern the thriving model of education in the country. Thavaseelan, IAS, Principal Director, School Education, Government of Nagaland, opined, "Today we need powerful tools to facilitate learning in a meaningful way. Taking Charge of education in the age of AI is critical. Digital and project-based learning are the drivers to advance personalized adaptive learning. This is the norm and it will keep on getting deeply rooted as we go along." Bringing together intellectuals, industry experts, educationists, and research scholars, the conference had Padma Shri Dr Mylswammy Annadurai, Director, Moon Land Technologies, Former Director of ISRO, sharing his experiential insights and leaving our panelists and participants with enough ideas for some fruitful introspection of how to map the journey from a school classroom to the moon. He heartily ended his address by saying "none of this is rocket science for Indian students anymore". "AIF is honored to partner with key ecosystem stakeholders to further the mission of advancing STEM learning and empowering the youth to explore STEM careers. These partnerships not only further AIF's mission of improving lives, with a special focus on children, and youth but also aim to leverage the expertise and innovation of its flagship education program Digital Equalizer to improve access to quality education and aspiration learning opportunities. In this era of intense transformation in education, global trade, economy, technology, and society, STEM learning and careers are the future and I congratulate the youth who are participating and leap-frogging ahead of their peers to become inspirations in their community.

Promoting Gender Equity, American India Foundation joins hands with EY - Corporate Responsibility Program to empower girls through STEM Education

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], September 30 (ANI/BusinessWire India): AIF's flagship education program - Digital Equalizer in partnership with EY launched the 'EY Skillbridge Program', as a part of their Corporate Responsibility program to enable 2,50,000 adolescent girls across 500+ schools in the country to become creators of technology rather than mere consumers. Since 2004, Digital Equalizer has been bridging India's digital divide by providing and integrating technology into underperforming, under-resourced public schools. With an aim to empower adolescent girls with 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, computational thinking, and innovation, Digital Equalizer is launching the 'EY Skillbridge Program' in collaboration with EY Global Delivery Services (EY GDS). As a part of their corporate responsibility program, over the next three years, the project will empower 250,000 girls and over 1000 teachers in 500+ schools, across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Maharashtra, and Delhi NCR. In alignment with National Education Policy 2020, the project aims to build scientific temperament in students, especially girls, through coding, life skills, career skills, and financial literacy. Breaking the gender stereotype and instituting equity, the project will build the self-confidence and resilience of young girls while supporting them with a pathway to careers. "Our world is witnessing an era of intense transformation in all areas, whether it is education, global trade and, economy, technology or society. There is an emergent need to focus on holistic development that equips young people, especially girls, to not only make meaningful contributions to society but also prepare them for the vagaries that confront them in the future. We are happy to announce the collaboration with EY GDS Corporate Responsibility program, to prepare young women to be ready for tomorrow," said Sanyukta Chaturvedi, Director, Digital Equalizer, AIF, & CEO, Digital Equalizer Foundation. EY Skillbridge Program will indoctrinate a scientific temperament and cognitive thinking in girls from grades 8 and 9 and further their development by instilling the requisite skills at an early age. Mukul Pachisia, EY GDS Global Operations Leader, said, "Knowledge is not limited to a particular gender. To reap the full potential of technology and innovation, it is important that we encourage girls to excel in financial literacy and STEM skill sets. This will empower them to build a better tomorrow for themselves, their families, and the wider community. We are pleased to partner with the American Indian Foundation and launch the EY Skillbridge program that will focus on enabling young women to realize a strong future. We are happy that through this program, we can touch thousands of lives and accelerate the agenda of making STEM a gender-neutral skill in the future." Working with state governments and education departments, the project will also build the capacity of the key players in the existing education ecosystem to ensure the sustainability of the initiative. Speaking at the launch Dr Shalini Rajneesh, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Planning, Govt. of Karnataka, said, "American India Foundation is strengthening the youth of Karnataka with its programs in Livelihood and Education. We need to prepare our children and youth for the future and we are confident that AIF's Digital Equalizer program in partnership with EY GDS will equip our adolescents with 21st-century skills and prepare them for tomorrow." The launch event was also attended by Sumangala, Director, Department of State Education and Research Training, Karnataka; Dr Bahuguna Saradhi, OSD to the Commissioner, Board of Intermediate Education, Telangana for Academic Inputs; Mukund Raj, Project Head UNDP Karnataka; Rumi Mallick Mitra, Director - CSR, EYGDS, and Sheeja Menon, Head - Academics, Digital Equalizer, AIF.
