Please join me in warmly welcoming Prof. Rajeev Sharma to our podcast.
Prof. Rajeev Sharma, a former faculty member at the Ravi J. Matthai Centre for Educational Innovation (1996–2017) at IIM Ahmedabad, has had an illustrious career in education and psychology.
He has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Michigan and has extensively researched educational innovation, first-generation learners, and entrepreneurial opportunities in education. Prof. Sharma designed and taught the PGP course Enterprise and Innovation in Education and contributed to management development programs for educators. He has worked on projects for organizations like Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), Department for International Development (DFID), and India's National Literacy Mission and authored the book Not by Grades Alone on innovative schools.
In this episode, Prof. Rajeev Sharma will provide valuable insights from his widely recognized book, "Not Just Grades: Schools That Educate Differently."
In the rush to enroll children in privately run English-medium schools, where the focus often leans heavily on cut-throat competition and grades-based performance, the true essence of quality education is being compromised. Students, teachers, and educational institutions alike find themselves struggling to thrive in such a pressured environment. Amid this scenario, a few schools stand out by charting a different course. Prioritizing the holistic development of their students, these institutions strive to create a nurturing and positive learning atmosphere. Not Just Grades highlights such exemplary schools that have successfully demonstrated how academic excellence can coexist with meaningful personal growth. With limited resources or capital, these schools have implemented innovative and creative approaches, making a remarkable impact on education.
