Education For Employment
VIEW EVENT DETAILSWith a population of 1.3 billion, India's demographic dividend is often hailed as the country's strong suit. India's literacy rates have climbed to 74.04% and it has set an ambitious target of skilling 700 million people by 2022. However, with a 47% dropout before the tenth standard among the 230 million children enrolled in school, India needs to look for innovative solutions to broaden and improve student outcomes. What are some of the best practices and learnings which can be implemented in a country with diverse economic backgrounds, caste, and gender such as India? How can educational curriculum be adapted to poise students toward employability? Join us for a conversation with Cecilia Rouse, Dean, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University and Craig Johnson, Superintendent, American School of Bombay, as we explore best practices in the sphere of education.
