हमारी शिक्षा प्रणाली में परीक्षाओं के प्राप्तांकों पर छात्र-छात्राओं की सफलता-असफलता का मूल्यांकन होता है. हालांकि प्राथमिक शिक्षा में काफी सुधार हुए हैं लेकिन माध्यमिक शिक्षा पद्धति में लार्ड मैकाले का ही अनुसरण हो रहा है. ऐसे में जरूरी है कि शिक्षा छात्रों के सर्वांगीण विकास के लिये हो और यदि उसमें कोई दोष हो या अकादमिक रूप से मंद हो अथवा शिक्षणेत्तर गतिविधियों में उसकी रूचि न हो तो प्रस्तुत नवाचार के माध्यम से छात्र-छात्रा का समग्र विकास हो सकता है. प्रलेखन एक ऐसी पद्धति है, जो हर छात्र को अपनी कमी सुधारने और पिछ्ड़ जाने पर अन्य छात्रों के बराबर तक पहुचंने का अवसर प्रदान करती है. यह कहने में कोई संकोच नही होना चाहिए कि ये नवाचार शिक्षा विज्ञान का बीज मंत्र है.
Zero-Investment Innovations for Education Initiatives
ZIIEI is an initiative of Sri Aurobindo Society. Working for over 55 years to transform Education, Sri Aurobindo Society has identified that the Zero Investment Innovations at grassroots in India can be one of the most game-changing accelerators in improving the quality of education.
ZIIEI has been facilitating wide-spread adoption of the most promising “zero-investment” innovations in Education, and helping the State to solve the toughest challenges of making education more effective and meaningful. Presently, it is proving to be a significant step in implementation of the vision of the State Government to establish UP as a role model state of Educational Transformation.
The ZIIEI platform brings together the scattered, isolated and yet-to-be–recognised individual innovations, and is making these collective and inclusive. Each school, educator, and student is intended to be part of a mutually-sustained ecosystem to address the gaps in education—with simple tools—and will earn recognition by the Education Community and the State Government for their successful ideas.
ZIIEI is inclusive innovation at its best also because of the fact that it brings together the government, the schools, and educators, non-governmental and corporate players. While ZIIEI, evolved in response to critical educational needs, has been designed under the guidance of the UP State Government, it is funded by HDFC Bank— a collaboration model that goes beyond even public-private partnership (PPP) to facilitate the best of ideas, research, knowledge-sharing and cross-sector collaborations.
