About Education Next Newsletter

Hello All, 

I research and write about how education needs a change, how parents create alternate learning ways, and how young people develop skills to be better prepared.

Why?

There is a fear that if kids don’t go to school, they don’t get into college, they don’t have degrees to signal, they don’t have the job.

So everyone follows the most safe path,

We also know that :

• Companies are hiring without degrees

• Skills-based hiring is on the rise

• Young people are seeking independence in the way they work

• Schools and colleges are not helping kids build the skills they need

So then, what can we do?

• Learn from people who are changing the narrative.

• Learn what and how young people can create their learning path.

• Learn how the world is changing and how we can be better prepared.

Gary Vaynerchuck says modern parenting may be like raising zoo animals if you don’t let your kids be free and independent.

With good intentions, parents often lavish their children with affection and material comforts, inadvertently sheltering them from the harshness of reality.

"Let them stand on their own 2 feet … 👣 they are capable .. more capable than you think … the adversity will lead to happiness .. hard, I get it … but this is a bigger deal than people think... Kids do not like the help as much as they say, there's a lot here" - Gary Vaynerchuk.

Bangalore is running out of water, and the weather is hotter than it used to be. What are we missing?

What can we fix to live a more sustainable life? Adi and I discussed it and how we follow small practices to be more mindful in using resources.

You learn nothing from success, says Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran started singing very early, and it was when he turned 18 he truly honed his craft and could write the A-team.

Over those years, he dedicated himself to learning the intricacies of harmony, honing his performance skills, and mastering the art of singing in tune.

Edhseeren transformed himself from a novice singer to a seasoned professional through sheer determination and practice.
