Session 2: Stakeholders: Voice, Choice & Incentive Education policies and rules, though formulated by officials in the national and state capitals, are consumed by very different set of stakeholders in villages, cities and towns and districts. In this session we will hear the unheard voices of these stakeholders; voices of children, parents, teachers and school leaders to unravel the complexities of education delivery process. After listening to those voices, we will bring a panel of experts to provide further analysis, international and national cases and possible policy and delivery level solutions to the issues raised by different stakeholders. Session 3: The Unspoken Club While talking about policies, rules and the voices of different stakeholders, we fail to discuss about various dimensions of the education system. In this session we will talk about some unspoken dimensions – usage of technology, children with disability, use of data in policy making, etc. Experts on the topics will discuss how these unspoken dimensions affect the delivery of education. Session 4: Debate on 'Choice Vs Uniformity in Education' Extending the discussion further on education delivery, this session will unfold in the form of a power moderated debate between two strong speakers on "Choice Vs Uniformity in Education." |
