But the syllabus in the schools and colleges has remained the same for the past 30 years. Our students still learn the same English grammar, Algebra and Science that we learned back then. Hence children are not able to change their thinking. There are around 24 crore school students in India. Schools can play an important role in holistic development of the student by evolving an emotional, social, hectic and critical thinking model for students by involving teachers, parents and educational system. Teachers must let the students solve real world problems and prepare them for the jobs of the future. Counselling should be integrated in schools to guide the child about their career.Right kind of guidance can transform the potential of studentsGanesh Kohli, founding president, IC3 movement said, “I believe that the right kind of guidance can transform the potential of students and lead to unparalleled progress in their education and career. With the pandemic, rise in technologies and rapid growth of industries, there are several new sectors and job roles that did not exist before. Moreover, almost 93 percent of schools in India do not have career counselors which leads to students not having the right resources at their exposure to make an informed choice. It is of utmost importance that schools around the country start providing this support to their students to help them make the right choice. The IC3 Forum is committed to improving the ratio of resource allocation across schools in India, with the goal of making career counselling for high school students easily accessible and sharing useful information with educators.Participation of national and international universities:The forum saw the participation of representatives of six international universities that included the University of Delaware, Ashoka University, FLAME University, RV University, University of New Castle, Atria University, University of Essex and KREA University.Participation of experts in panel discussion:Uma Mohandas.
