Challenges and

Creativity is as important as literacy”
- Ken Robinson
True Education has a lot to do with creativity and not just
literacy. Gone are the days when education was all about rote learning and this
is where the opportunity lies. Business in the education sector is a great
responsibility, as we are dealing with children and working towards building a
future for them. The demand for good schools is very high as education is given
a lot of importance in our country and parents have aspirations of sending
their children to the best of schools.
Education has seen a major shift in the last 15 years. Historically
parents sent their children to aided schools, where the school fees were
minimal and girls received free education. The teacher child ratio was 1:50 (or
even more) and these schools were deploying a curriculum that was developed by
government appointed universities which was not updated thereafter. With large
classroom numbers the schools could only follow a rote method of learning where
the child did not necessarily understand the concept taught but was able to
regurgitate it orally and on paper.
A recent study by The US department of labour states that ‘65
percent of children entering grade school this year are likely to encounter
work profiles that are not even in existence by the time they graduate.’
The only thing we are certain of is that creativity, imagination
and entrepreneurship is going to be absolutely important if we want our
children to not just survive in this new millennium but to TRULY THRIVE. This
is why it is necessary that we put creativity at the centre of children’s learning.
We know that 20 years from now success will hinge not on how much we know, but
on our ability to think and act creatively. Creativity is the driving force of
economic progress and the decisive source of competitive advantage.
The crux of the matter is to focus on the core essential of Education – its effect and affect on a student, which should be from a long-term perspective and not a short one.

However there are many challenges that entrepreneurs in the
education sector have to face. From documentation to other legal formalities,
the roadblocks are there. But, where there’s a will, there is a way.
Only by encouraging investments and entrepreneurship in education
does this country have a hope of increasing schools that focus on creativity,
innovation and entrepreneurship.
