As you know, I am fascinated by the idea of preparing children for the future.
And for a long time, documents like Future of Jobs Report by World Economic Forum or 21st century skills by Harvard School of Leadership have been the key source for my work.
But since western philosophy is so influenced by Intellect, I was also fascinated by the idea of brain, and so my entire work was around Learning Needs
But then I was hit by the concept of Panchakosha
and I realised, it is not only about intellect, it is also about intelligence or body fitness, or emotional well being, and you see many more things
Now I was more interested in learning How to Learn
and when I discovered 4 Kaal of Learnings, I was overjoyed
Because now I knew, how to make a learning strategy suitable to a particular individual
and then I was able to make more sense out of 4 dimension of our mind
I myself experienced how we learn through Manana and Nididhyasan
I realised, how the western philosophy of Intellect worship is coining negative words like cramming, and a capability is being able to remember things was being presented to us as an ill thing.
Some people can read things and remember it for a long long time, why it is bad?
It is a capability, some have it some might gain it.
Anyways, this was enough for me to dig further
So, now I am building a new framework and in this article, I will talk about that only.
I do not see my framework changing upside down, but now I am seeing everything in a different sequence, I am sure, now it will be more structured and easy to understand
Future Readiness Framework
While you may follow me on LinkedIn to explore my thoughts (or my rants too)
Where I keep posting about the wrongs in school education and a need for change or how parents should participate (like the following)
It was all good as I was busy making the framework to help children
but then gradually Ancient Hindu Wisdom started impacting my thoughts
I learned about How Gurukul Shiksha was structured.
I learned about how large universities like Nalanda and Takshshila were being run very efficiently with very few Acharyas.
Now when I see the Panchakoshas
Annamaya Kosh
Pranamaya Kosh
Manomaya Kosha
Vijnanmaya Kosh
Anandamaya Kosh
I realise, how powerful and profound this knowledge is
I learned about Manas, Ahamkara, Buddhi, & Chitta.
I learned about
Agama Kaal
Swadhyaya Kaal
Pravachan Kaal
Vyavhar Kaal
I also learned about the 5 fundamental skills for human life (Communication, Logical Thinking, Inquiry, Memory, & Physical Ability)
and all this and more is impacting the framework that I was building.
And if you see closely, the new shape of my framework is including new words, it starts from a new point (althought it is still work in progress so I have not shared the whole of it)
Frankly, this new knowledge have immensely helped me structure the whole idea for better in a whole new way.
These ideas are so profound that now I am building a program for school children to teach them these strategies and see what changes in their life.
If you also have a child between 6th to 12th grade, your child is welcome to join this program
The program will be delivered both in online and offline mode.
There will be in total 3 groups
One for 6,7,8th students
another for 9th & 10th
and one more for 11th & 12th.
If you know any parent who would be willing to explore this program, ask them to connect with us through contact@edmonks.com.
