R Vishnu Parsad I toatally agree with all your concerns even i also think thats the right way to go ahead to improve the education system. However, for tieing up with government projects and emphasising on creative learning need a quality educated man power. That India is already in short of..

Griffin Tucker : I think the problems you mentioned can bereduce by the creative learning process. Yeah I agree It will always be there may to some extent.

Thanks Vivek.

    Jul 5 2011: Hi Manish... Nice to see somebody following his heart.. I am also trying to figure out the ways to make education available to all. My area of concern is making it available for the children living in remote villages at the moment.

    Keep yourself going! Good luck!

    Jul 5 2011: a problem with online learning is that without guidance, off-topic information or even misinformation can be absorbed by students.

    in professional environments, i believe that if a precedent is set, then the students (however young or old) will have respect for the will the learn for others and themselves, as long as they really do have the will to learn themselves. if they don't have the will to learn on a particular topic, perhaps ask them what they would rather study, because without true passion for a particular subject, attention spans and grades are likely to fall short.

    it's just my opinion based on my experience, as i have studied over 10 years at different schools majoring in subjects that i didn't particularly enjoy, studying what i thought others expected of me instead of what i feel i was born to do.

    so i say, teach to study with passion for what they truly enjoy!

    Jul 4 2011: My suggestion is the online education system will be successful in the urban areas and cities.Because in India the rural areas are under developed and i think the online educational system in these areas may not lead to fruitful results.My idea is "The government of India has implemented its schools even in the under developed areas.So if we improve the standard of teaching and education system in those schools by means of sponsors and with the help of the respective school officials such as principal etc... the education system will be automatically developed.As a result when the government school standards are equal to that of private schools located in cities, the poor students can be taught with high standards.I mean improving the standards is not only in the means of smart class room teaching.The creative learning process must be undertaken such as the education must not only confined to books but also with some practical application learning process.If we undertake one school for a year and work it out practically then it will lead to grand success in the forth coming years. Expecting your suggestions and comments.....

    Welcome to the TED community, you've just started a(nother) big journey ;)

    I applaud your initiative for starting the school, education is one of the most discussed topics here on TED so I think you'll feel right at home.

    Now about your question, I'm not sure I understand it, could you please elaborate?
