Educational  in indian culture reflects as an third eye of the humans.It distinguishes them from animals and other living creatures on this planet.Vedic vision  of SIVA WITH THIRD EYE is infact a collective wisdom concept and foresight .It reflected infinite energy,potential and a holostic approach to gain wisdom,Thus education in general transforms an ordinary person into extra ordinary.We can cite a thousand examples of people born in humble families and communities turn to be as great scholars and visionaries.You know them and see then arround or in the history of this world.The point which I wish to stress here the need of education.Education is the shine and glow which brings learning ,skills,inventions,innovations and transformation in a society.The divinity sermons lite Tut Tvum Asi- you are supreme if your acquire ultimate and invisible knowledge and trusth.The myth foretells every one is geneious and capable of Trust,wisdom and  divinity,The sprituality follows deep persuits of Asna and Meditiation.Over years all the golden ages in history of mankind are rememberd for thier wisdom.A short review of communities and groups who were involved in mordern day educational development can be summarized in the following review.

Review of educational development

Greek educationsts.

Greek cultural revolution and development is remembered by thier ancient medicine which even today persists as unini hakmat in India and we have excellent unnani medical colleges and even now a university under the title of HAMDARAD UNIERSITYexists within the capital.The greek theory of purpose,application and interpretation are still regarded as the basic concepts of education.The Greek educational developments paved a way out of the Greek Dark AGE 1100 BC and revolutionized the world knowledge untill DORIAN INVASION IN 146 BC,The educational backup and knowledge perceptions survived over ages,Although every invasion or revolution tries to destroy these centers of wisdom and peace,Thus since time immemorial education,learing and wisdom is in harmony with peace and prosperity.The the old or the modern day crusaders only which destroy libraries and knowledge centers accross the world.Be it the demolishing of tombs,libraries or the monoments,peace sgnifies culture and education,War destroys it and spreads barbaism and illetracy.All great nation on this universe thrived and progressed untill they percieved cultural and educational superiorty and authority.Once they deviated from it they vanished like shasows in the darkness.

Roman educational theiology

Battle of corinth gave a new dimension to romen culture and education.Most of it borrowed from Greek culture and educational treasures brought during wars to Europeian libraries.Roman culture and educational setups were more steriocopiess of the Greeks .and other ancient cultures than their own innovations and developments.Even todays educational innovations like organic food and biotech farming are borrowed western technologies rather than innovated one.A system which allows to patent patna rice or even haldi can at best be remembered as pirators and not inventors.Thus the point I wish to make here is every culture,community or country have gone through cultural revolutions and wars which efected both educational institutions and establishments and moral transformations.Our short lived memoris remembered those in power or those in print and not those who were and are the poineers.The roman educational set ups coupled with Greek PHILOSOPHICAL PERSISTENCE was improved upon by the muslims in their GOLDE RENAISSANCE during 9-13 century.

GOLDEN ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL RENAISSANCE

What is an open university concept?

Open University concept is aimed at determined goals

         To attain education for general awareness

         To support a particular profession

        To up grad skill or knowledge for a specified job.

Intent and onus

  Deeper probing and acquiring knowledge.

  Student intended  study management  

   Onus is on student  learning not on subject .

Conventional verses open university

The routine university set up has accumulated unemployed graduates and postgraduates in subject oriented disciplines without any reference to employment or job requirements.

The Open University aims at breaking classroom daily routine and prepare its pupils to learn and gain access to knowledge where they are and while working or during off time schedules.

Success stories

Many success stories can be written on emeritus boys and girls attaining degrees during off hours by attending evening classes in The best example of Sir Mohammad Iqbal ,of sarae jahan sae acha fame,can be quoted when he acquired three degree of philosophy, law and PhD while preparing for a degree course in U.K.

.The evening and part time course routine has been a common feature of in-service candidates of land grant UniversitiesS in USA

EDUCATIONAL ANNOVATIONS

The traditional universities in Germany and Japan have amended their curricula in 1980 to incorporate a project based degrees than a subject based one.

Openness in selecting and offering courses without barriers of prerequisites and essentials in these countries excelled their educational patterns in 1980.

A majority of graduates and post graduates in Germany and Japan were preferred in USA.Most of the noble and other prestigious prizes went to Germany in this era.

They stressed more on research and development than on theoretical models and details.The  courses to suit a protect were more important than the study of a particular subject.For example a student registered as doctorate candidate had a choice to attain skills and knowledge to undertake  his/her degree. Name of institute bears the mark and not the subject of study in his degree.THIS ALLOWED HIM/HER A VARIETY OF JOBS.

Problem-cause analysis.

   Any subject which existed as an discipline has been reclassified into hundreds of nest titles and courses and each course can have thousands topis.The minor and macro levels of understanding of a subject has been boardend enough to be covered in a time bound curricula.

Sepacialities and sub specialities have been increasing day after day with the result each subject taught in a university covers only definitions and meanings of the titles rather a holistic acquaintance with subject.

The job structures have on the other hand been changed to tune a more specific area than a journalistic approach.

Now we need more masters of a title than jacks of all titles or subjects. This shift in education Verses employment potential in USA and EU has already changed the face of even regular or conventional universities to virtual,open, correspondence or antiuniversity concepts.

Background /historical review

AS RIGHTLY SAID BY ALVIN Toffler’s 1990.turmiols and transitions make turns and curves in educational and cultural developments. The world of university cultures have perceived these turns during the industrial revolution in the past and the currently running information revolution. The third wave change has begun with present recession and a turn in the educational set is imminent.

We have observed an obsession within us to get entries in medical and engineering schools in the past, followed BT veterinary, dental and agricultur.Soon these industrial incited waves declined in favour of management, banking and information technology. Each of us whether doctor, engineer, vet, agris, prof, or a teacher, labour or worker became computer conscious and computer courses became essential parts of education like pencil and paper. The Indian ink and coarse paper replaced wooden tactic and nor alum in Indian education during industrial revolution. The computer revolution replaces them and now a new school grammar is building up. The English vocabulary was simplified by American English. We saw new English born in India Called Hingis.

The new information revolutions surpassed the pen, computer and now a mobile does all what years in schools and colleges could not do. KEEP HUMANS ABREAST WITH KNOWLEDGE. You need to know any one language you can learn and know all the recipes of the world. Historic events need not to be memorized as they are on your finger prints. Thus knowledge of facts and figures ahs changed to knowledge of understanding and planning.

 

Educational stage and growth

During 12th century education was child centered, Black board was the frontal equipment and many pioneers organizing the show became celibates like Montessori group of schools and colleges. The era of organization of education came in 1870.It was the era of industrial growth and revolution. Some of the common educationists of the age can be still echoed from the hallow vacuums of the dooms and dips of universities and colleges like Ellen KAI.Maria Montessori,Helen parkhurst.Some the revolutionary educationists of the rea in India can be remembered as Sir Syed Ahmed .Khan,DR.Radhakrishnen.DR,ZAKIR HUSSAIN AND  others. Here higher education was linked with higher responsibility and honour. A job in school and colleges was as prestigious as a civil servant or police officer in uniform. The onus after independence shifted slowly and steadily towards administration and government employment. The old sirs were replaced by new brand of educated youth. This gave birth to an individual driven educational system, where phrasing and speaking became a skill. This was the era of PADAGOGY REFORM. Here your English accent and way of living became more valuable than your understanding the subject or the topic. A new system of yes or no measures became common with 50% probability of knowing a subject with even open a page of the book. This new school movement came a bit late from across the shores and reached us via America around 1960.

Global   EDUCATIONAL CHANGE

 OF 1960 “S

The school movement in EU died quickly and was replaced with new scientific curricula and quality assessment and curriculum designing changes. NEW maths came to be leant as an extension of pioneering research in maths and physics. A new computer provided a print and material revolution. The system of frontal black boards were replaced by Xeroxed machines and cyclostyled notes this was confidently called as book errs simplification age.

Of  1970”s

This change shifted to teachers, The Photostat machines compelled teachers to be more informative than previous year note. Here focus shifted to assignments and teachers training and associations. The professional association growth mushroomed and brought teachers and students face to face in annual conferences and seminars. Mutual trust and recognitions created a new mechanism of change .A PARTICIPATION IN DECISION MAKING THROUGH RECOMMENDATIONS CAME TO BE RECOGNIZED. Many reward and wards conferred in these meeting raised the moral of teaching community and their say begin to be heard and looked at. In the west it gave birth to reforms and comprehensive schooling with added emphasis on financial gains and research tagging and patenting

Of 1980”S

1980 saw as an implementation phase to restructure curriculum as per new Knowles gains and new schedules and micro disciplines came into existence.

OF 1990-2K”s

1990 saw a meaning derived educational system. The biotechnology and bioinformatics came too used in every day science and technology. The whole knowledge packs became redudundent without the use of information technology and communication skills bypassed all barriers to transcontinental research and search materials. A true global village narrowed the distances of universities and a true meaning of learning and practising came to existence which makes virtual and absently education without scrolls and colleges a reality/This meaning and understanding phased replaced the paper and photocopying and gave birth to cede and emails.

Demand driven educational change

Now learning in conventional universities is too changed to open system of learning .We have entered a new phase of research and capacity building stage where degree are not in demand, it is skill and job which fetches you living.Knowledge  is now d acquired and self endever than  exam centric.

This capacity building and multiloop system of education is on cards through Open University system. Its broad features can be summarized in the following bullet points.

1. Total quality management.

New learning approaches to be screamed, surged and researched. The phrase don’t jump in deep waters without peeping or estimating the depths, It is difficult to pull ones hair from a deep water drowning as one needs someone to pull your hair, Thus teaching in open university still need teachers of pulling calibre and gear and not those who may drown themselves like the Baron von munchanen escape swamp. Here we mean new models. Teaching aids, academic refresh, student assessment, evaluation modus operand and a huge set of recreational and curriculum amalgam is needed to leave a permanent incarceration of teaching on the taught. The system has to imbibe ethos comprising of three co’s  CULTURE,CHARACTER AND CUSTOM with SEP i.e. social, economic and political change, A national pride, do right at the right moment, ability to decide and act, has to be part of quality change among our learners.

2. OPEN ENROLLMEN

University without borders and enter requirements shall encourage men of Edison’s calibre to embrace education and learning process. We open our borders and enrolments to both degree desiring and skill requiring learners. Whole populace should become our clienteles and learners. Every house wife should enrol in Open University to know the new recipe he husband is allured to in a hotel. All programmes of three Open University should have a variety and purpose .This shall make our enrolment free of culture, caste, creed, nationality and entrance qualification. The enrol ment of agricultural and farm youth, women, ngos and SHG SHALL make us resource rich.

3, FACULTY TRAINING AND SELECTIOM

Open University needs men who have climbed the mountain of knowledge and wisdom. Our professionals need more holistic training and education to discuss issues and problems. Direction has to be given .Multiplicity of disciplines and teach skills need our faculty to be merituous, self sustaining and knowlegeble.Knoeledge delivering skill is more important than the knowledge itself. Today gaining know how is easy, A PRESS IN THE web shall give all information. What is needed of an Open University professor is to interpret and place and communicate this knowledge. Thus knowledge transmission is more relevant and important in Open University system.

4.DIVERSIFICATION OF STUDY AREARS

Many universities and colleges have 30-40 odd deciplines.Here the number should grow with demand and enrollmrnt.We in Open University should be able to make study materials to all on demend.This needs many new incorporations like food science, global agriculture, biotech farming, dairy and other animal farming, paravet and med care, home management and kitchen sciences. Home science, bioscience, law, agriculture, biofarming, bioengineering, mechical innovation nanotechnology application and like. Our specialities should be carrier oriented than subject oriented like milking science, food preservation, I skills, lab diagnostics

5., RESEARCH INNOVATION AND GROWTH

Open University has to grow on its own assessment and competitions. Our learners have to partners in knowledge gathered and assessment score. A well pilot projectization shall help university to earn while imparting a instruction and training,Surveysmcollection of data base and dissemination and feed back of projects can be researched at donors cost supporting a living for the student and making university resourceful  financially and educationally. A new set of innovative knowledge banks,cource development and many social and economic problems could be assessed ,analysed and projects to plan and monitor progress of investment and development both in provost sand go sectore.A plan to involve learners in their own village or locality to assess the situation in his field of specialization will make whole world our laboratory and all universities and established analytic centres our partners, Naturally all private and public institutions referring their problem for research shall have to bear the cost of each research project so devised,

6. REACHING TO UNREACHED AND STRENTHENING OUR HOLD ON REACHED.

Diversification of field of study and entries shall facilitate the university to research to unreached, Convergence with village,town,city institutions,departments and establishments both private,govt,semigovt or ngo shall be converted in a partnership mode .The total uyility,identification and sharing of outcome shall be joint and participatory. This shall make our access to hitherto unknown place and institutes so as to bring home the slogan to reach to unreached.

7, vibrant student participation and feed back

Learners views,assessment,success,and data collection and appraisals shall have to be studies and analytic modes adopted for efficiency and growth, independent surreys and assessments by peer of worth cannot be ruled out. Out sourcing this assessment component make us wiser and excellent managers.

8. EXTENSION EDUCATION

EXTENDING KNOWLEGE AND AWRENESS AT DOOR STEPS of farmers,employers,work managers, workers and artisans shall make us vibrant, Chinese model of absolute and need based knowledge and awareness through retired and other educated made their total literacy dream come true.Wiyh education came the awareness of farming,healthcaremcooking,banking and even loaning and assistance etcher we have well net institutions of kvks,atmas,sameties and rural govt and ngo programmes institutions and project ready to converge and divulge a holistic knowledge carter proliferation. What we need is the provisions of equipments of dissemination and effective convergence and mobility or mobile communication support.

9. ELECTRONOC MEDIA USE AND DESSEMINATION OF TEACHING AND AWRENESS MATERIALS.

A more elaborative and cohesive collaboration with space, web portals, cable wallets, internet, mobile and ict networking organizations hav to be interwoven like an amicus to feed our delivery and feedback systems.Ths vedios, cassets, cd should play as often as Michel Jackson ring tone or mobile advertisement.knowlede at doorstep dream cannot be fulfilled with ACTIVE ROLLING OF ICT,FILM AND TV INDUSTRY AND ESTABLISHMENTS

10. INTERNATIONALIZATIOS GOLS AND OUTREACH SYSTEM

 

Internationalizing open university ,enrolling students home makersmfarmers,industry and agricultural entrepreneurs for training and learning through open university shall make us global.ASIAN,ASIAN,MIDDLEEAST,SOUTH EAST,EU AND OTHER PAN AMERICAN COUNTRIES SHALL BE ON OUR NET AND ENROLLMENT. The present 9 universities and 90 correspondence offering universities have to be multiplied in all the global village offering yoga to spiritual sciences as per need. Our organic farming, unani Medicare and ayruvedic experiences need translations and transformations into educational degrees. The palmistry, nemrology and above allendology need spread and educational reform in the world. Chance to perpetuate culture and education comes once in a century. If this our century then we has to grab the opportunity coming through our windows, we cannot afford to miss it going through our open doors and unlocked lockers.

11. DYNAMIC CONTOROL BOTH IN ACDEMICS, MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCE MOBILIZATION IS THE BUZZ WORD TO RECCON WITH.Reviews, researchmconceptuual mapping, infrastructure, evaluationand competency building is all we have to strive and achieve to be world masters. We have to imbibe national pride and courage to see things above the space and head of others. Make our trouble shouters our agents of change and development. Morgan imagination skill, new styles and ways have to be opened, understanding ,institution, concept an design have to be confihurated,practice and perfected to present a successful model of open university and knowledge backed holistic indo edu-sio-culture unique and patented by us and us alone
