Think of an Indian Institute of Management (IIM) or Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) graduate, and the first thing to come to mind is a plush job either in investment banking, consultancy or IT. However, the likes of Vardan Kabra and Ankita Diwekar-Kabra — students of IIM-Ahmedabad 2004 batch — are changing this thinking.

This duo conceptualised the Fountainhead Education Foundation — a custom-designed pre-school and childcare centre in Surat for children between the age of one and five adapted from internationally renowned methods.

“I got a Rs 7 lakh pre-placement offer from Procter and Gamble (P & G). But neither did I take it up nor sit for the placements. I believe that quality education should be a big business. There are not enough choices for students when it comes to schools and colleges today. And most want to get into whatever the limited options are available. The problem is that there is not enough competition.

The moment there is competition in this sector, it will undergo significant changes, like the telecom industry,” Vardan says.

Having read Bio-Chemistry at the University of Calabar, Cross River State; he was searching “for greener pastures”, he says, when he, literally, ‘contacted ICT’ following his employment in the Administrative Department of an IT firm in Port Harcourt .

A series of trainings followed and in five years, he became a Systems Analyst. He was later employed as a Systems Analyst by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Education Department and deployed to the Government Science and Technical College , Garki, Abuja. Today, he teaches Computer Studies in the school.

Deputy Head Teacher Ronald Ddungu trained as a Mathematics teacher and teaches the subject in senior classes One to Six (Age 13 to 19) at Gayaza High School in Kampala , ‘Uganda’ . He has taught for 16 years, but began to use ICT only three years ago. “I learnt by observing and applying. I was fascinated by people who wrote and put things on the internet and inspired to do the same. Now I have my own website that I am putting together”, he says. His contact with the International Education and Research Network of Teachers, based in the United States , gave him the opportunity to participate in a Teachers Forum, a one-month on-line course, where participants were taught how to use projects to teach. » Read more after the jump →

China is now exporting half of its auto products and Tata Industries of India has just announced that it will be producing a $2,500 car. China and India are now flexing their manufacturing muscles in autos, putting this bedrock of Ontario’s economy under pressure as never before.

There are many things that the government of Ontario can do to help manufacturing, but the most important long-term policy response is almost invisible in the public policy agenda – the necessity of creating the best-educated workforce in the world. The challenges of the 21st century will be met only by encouraging Canadians that the best single investment they can make is investing in their own brains.

Higher education was barely mentioned in the recent Ontario election. But the rest of the world notices what we do not notice. The Institute of Higher Education at Shanghai Jiao Tong University publishes the academic ranking of world universities. » Read more after the jump →
