India’s education debate today seems increasingly dominated by examinations—CBSE board exams, NEET, entrance tests, rankings, and results. But is this what education should be about?
In this talk, Shri V. Isvarmurti, founder of Vadamalai Media Group and long-time publisher of educational journals, reflects on the current state of education policy in India. He argues that while examinations are important, they have come to overshadow the larger questions that education leaders should be addressing: teaching quality, educational philosophy, innovation, character formation, creativity, and the future of learning.
Drawing on decades of engagement with educators across India through the School – Unique Education Journal, he calls for a broader and more meaningful conversation about educational reform.
Topics discussed:
The growing focus on CBSE and NEET examinations
The role of the Education Ministry
Why education is more than testing and assessment
The need for fresh ideas and educational innovation
School – Unique Education Journal
