almighty and a prayer. 19 student teachers lighted the chirad symbolically represent the 19th annual convention of CTEF, Kerala chapter during the prayer.
Dr. Susmitha P S, the convenor of the international conference gave an introductory speech about the seminar.
“Future ready learning focuses on the development of the skills and attributes replacing conventional learning with new pedagogical approaches that will provide our students with the tools they need to be successful to become curious, engaged and resilient individuals who are able to take up challenges of the 21st century and beyond. Education needs to evolve so as to teach and prepare students for the needs of the future.”
Dr. Susmitha P S began with the quotes of Fennel Hudson, referring to the dream of the college to host this multidisciplinary conference. She expressed her gratitude to CTEF members and KSHEC for granting the permission. She also gave a brief outline of the international multidisciplinary conference.
Dr. Asha O S, The General Convenor & The Principal of SNMTC, Moothakunnam welcomed the gathering.
“Education 4.0 emanated from the need of fourth Industrial Revolution, where man and machine align to enable new possibilities harnesses the potential of digital technology and the human resources of the globally connected, technologically fueled world. It establishes a blueprint for the future of learning as lifelong learning from childhood schooling to continuous learning in the work place to play a better role in society. Future ready learners must embrace and practice three concepts of learning: lifelong learning, life wide learning and life deep learning. A developing nation like India needs lifelong learners who cherish learning as part of life and cultivate attraction for learning and an inquisitive mind set.”
Dr. Asha O S explained the importance of topic in the present context. She welcomed all the dignitaries, resource persons and all the participants to the conference.
Dr. Grace Annie Mathews, chairperson, CTEF, Kerala, delivered the presidential address. She appreciated the college management and teachers for organizing the conference. In her speech she emphasized the theme of the conference and its importance. She also mentioned about NEP 2021.
“National Education Policy -2020: the first education policy of the 21st century. We have to redesign our education system on the basis of this. The OECD reported that ‘millions of jobs will be lost within 20-30 years and millions of jobs may emerge. And we are not sure about which job will be lost and which job will be created within this time. Here comes the importance of future ready learning. The teacher educators must be ready to lead the learners in proper manner.”
She also talked about how to utilize the conventional system and how to move with the new era of learning. Dr. Grace Annie Mathew wished all the success for the programme.
After the presidential address Dr. Rajan Varughese, Member Secretary, KSHEC, inaugurated the conference by lighting the lamp and delivered the inaugural address. In the inaugural address he critically overviewed the NEP 2020 and explained about GER of the country.
“There is a misconception that National Education Policy 2020 has been implemented. Actually, there are only efforts going on to implement the same. NEP is just a policy declared by the government. It is not even placed in the Parliament and discussed in state government. No
pieces of legislations are made by the central government, but it is trying to implement the same through certain bureaucratic interventions. It is actually forcing the unwilling state government to implement the policies. Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) in higher education is taken as the index of human development or economic development. In the case of developed countries, the average GER is nearly 60%. 60% of youth in the age group 18-23 are participating in higher education. When GER >50%, it is called massification of higher education. In USA, GER is approximately 82%. There is a direct linkage between GER and quality of human resources. Higher GER, greater will be the human development index. According to All India Higher Education Survey in 1890, average GER is only 25%, which means 75% of youth in India we’re not getting the benefits of higher education. The main factors which contributed to the increase in GER in recent years in India was the unregulated expansion of the self-financing sectors especially the professional education. In developed countries, increase in GER is due to expansion of public funded higher education institutions. Private sector level expansion will adversely affect equity in higher education. This will be a major casualty on the entire system and adversely affect access and quality of higher education.”
His thought-provoking talk gives a new perspective to read the theme of the conference.
The chief guest of the International conference Prof (Dr). Rajasekharan Pillai, Vice Chancellor of Somaiya Vidyavihar University addressed the gathering.
“Kothari education policy pointing the importance of the classrooms and the real teachers in education. The major statement of the 1986 education policy was that "no society can rise above the level of the teachers". Education is for enhancing the quality of life and life management system and the role of teachers in providing education is immense. We can't think about future learning without understanding the past and without being in the present. So, it is very important that along with knowledge and skills which we import in the classroom we should understand the context of learning, contexts of knowledge, and contexts of skills. What we teach as teachers in the classroom is only the text of education. Learning to live together is the noblest property of learning. A person who has learned should learn how to unlearn. Some of the things which we have learned may not become may be
relevant at a particular place or a time. So, it is important to learn to unlearn. Only a person who can unlearn can learn new things. Personalized education means that it is just for enough learning or just for main learning education cannot be limited just for anything or with limited to one sector alone.”
After the special address of Dr. Rajasekharan Pillai, Prof (Dr) K K Shine, Chairman NCTE, SRC, an eminent academician, Head of the Department of Education, University of Sanskrit, Kerala provided the keynote address through online mode.
“As we all are aware the teacher education is most neglected sector of education even though all commissions and policies discussed it seriously. Many efforts had been taken to make it effective. As this sector was a scattered one, there are no proper way for this. Then government started NCTE and bring all the teacher education under one umbrella. NEP want the teacher education a multi-disciplinary one and proposes four-year integrated education programme. We must uplift the quality of teacher education.”
In the keynote address Prof K K Shine explained the functioning of NCTE and the necessity of upgrading teacher education for future learning.
After the keynote address Sri. B. Rajeev, President, HMDP Sabha, Sri. Bijil Kumar T S, Secretary, HMDP Sabha and HE Most Rev. Dr. Joseph Mar Thomas, Former NCTE South zone, Expert Committee Member, Patron, CTE, Kerala & Former Principal, Mar Theophilos Training College, Trivandrum blessed with their words. They all appreciated the college teachers and staffs for organizing the conference and congratulated the award winners. They also ensured their support for the conference.
Words of appreciation was provided by Dr. C M Sreejith, Controller of Examination, M G University, Kottayam.
“Migration of students to Canada or other countries will affect GER of the nation. In this computer era we are trying to quantify every human activity. Learning is also quantified in that manner. But it is impossible to quantify all the characters of human being. Especially in the case of depressed students. There we prefer personalized learning. If we try to quantify all those things, it will be complicated. The learning is misidentified as memorizing. This is information dominated era. Learning must train a person to use himself useful for betterment of mankind.”
He conveyed his wishes for the conference and appreciated the award winners.
Genesis of CTEF were presented by Dr. Nimmim Maria Oommen, Secretary, Publication, CTEF.

DAY 3
PANEL DISCUSSION
The third day of the conference on 13th march 2021 started with a panel discussion session on theme Remodelling Teacher Preparation Framework for Future Ready Learning. The session was chaired by Dr. Kushvinder Kumar, Principal, M M Modi College of Education, Patiala, Punjab. The panelist of the session was Dr. Reena Tiwari Associate Professor, DAV PG College, Dehradun Uttarakhand, Dr. Madhuri Sanjay Yadav Associate Professor HGM Azam College of Education, Pune, Maharashtra and Dr. Sreedevi, Assistant Professor, Gandhigram Rural Deemed University Madurai district, Tamil Nadu
. Dr. Seeja K R delivered the welcome speech and introduced the moderator and panel members to the session.
The panel discussion began with a small presentation by Dr. Khushvinder Kumar. He talked about the Paradigm Shift from teacher to the learner.
“We have to think about the models which promote learner centered education. The time and mode of classes must be comfortable to the learners. The time of the classes must be decided by the learners. In the present days the classroom can be shifted from actual to virtual mode, but it must be felt like the actual mode. Instead of Tripolar method, that is – teacher-learner-content, we can follow the bipolar method, that is both teacher and learner have the content. This session focuses on pedagogy: Blended learning, Cooperative learning and Flip learning.”
The role of educational leaders has been undergoing many changes in the era of globalization due to diverse needs and expectations of the stakeholders of education. This increases the need for professional development of education leaders to fulfill their roles.
Panel1 discussion of Dr Reena Tiwari was on building educational leadership and professionalism. Teaching face-to-face presents meaning challenges, not least of which is the task of ensuring all that students feel belonging and have equal chances to thrive regardless of their abilities, identities, or perspectives. The online teaching environment suffers from all of the same obstacles to this and more, especially when not planned or executed with care.
“A teacher should have leadership skills. A teacher should be a collaborator. The making of a successful academic leader includes: understanding the importance of building community, empower teachers and cultivate leadership skills, utilize data and resources, have a vision and plan, create collaborative, inclusive learning environment etc. A professional in teaching needs to have performance, competence and commitment. The five areas of commitment are learner, profession, basic human values, society and excellence. In order to build professionalism, we must explore new technologies, ask for new assignments, take charge of your own learning, enhance your communication skills, openly share information and value each other’s background etc.”
In the panel discussion 2, Dr. Madhuri Sanjay Yadav discussed inclusive and equitable practices for future e-learners.
“Inclusive and equitable practices for future learners
Inclusion
Inclusion is a process that helps overcome barriers limiting the presence, participation and achievement of learners
Inclusive education means different and diverse students learning side by side in the same classroom
Inclusion of students: Any religion, Cast, Sex male, female, transgender, Geographical area, Linguistic minority, Economic weaker, socially deprived, Special children such as physical handicapped, hearing impaired, visual impaired, multiple disabled or autist slow learner dyslexic, Multicultural diversity all races, cultures, ethnicities
Equitable means receiving the same opportunity to reach a specific objective
Practices: Practices the actual application or use of an idea belief or method-Utilise coaching cycles,
Set standards-based goals, Unpack the goal into learning targets
4 components to teaching / learning: Modified progressive curriculum, learning environment schools and classroom environment, Students learning, teaching technique and strategies, what are the principles of inclusive practices. Needs of future learners are:
• Developing 21st century skills learning skills, literacy skills, life skills
• Developing mind set- grit and the growth mindset, the belongings, inclusive and global mindsets, the entrepreneurial ariel and maker mindset.”
She talked about practices for developing learning skills and practices for developing literacy skills.

This session was welcomed by Dr. Seeja K R and a vote of thanks was given by Smt. Sudha K P, Assistant Professors of S N M Training College, Moothakunnam.
“Shanthi Sena, (Peace Corps) in GRI was founded in 1958, 18 years before becoming a Deemed University. Since, GRI has always been a testing ground for many Gandhian experiments, the founding father of GRI, Dr G. Ramachandran took upon himself the task of establishing within this institution of higher education a nonkilling alternative to military training- a Shanti Sena. Even when GRI, upon becoming a Deemed University, was presented with the choice to adopt National Cadet Corps (NCC), it chose to continue with Shanthi Sena instead. By doing it, GRI became the only educational institution in the whole of globe to have adopted this model. Combining spiritual, physical, intellectual, and organizational training, the Shanti Sena prepared students for conflict resolution, security functions, disaster relief, and cooperative community service in response to community needs. The approach is always to work together with villagers to improve such things as childcare, sanitation, housing, and preservation of folk arts traditions. The Shanti Sena in GRI until recently assumed responsibility for campus security. No armed police were permitted on GRI campus or if permitted they used to play second fiddle to Shanthi Sena, even during visits by Indian prime ministers Pundit Nehru, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, or Presidents Shri R. Ventkatraman, Shri Abdul Kalam and other dignitaries. Besides providing security, when such dignitaries and prominent leaders visit the GRI campus, Shanthi Sena remains at the forefront in according them floral tributes and grand welcome. The six-decade long experience of Shanthi Sena in GRI includes taking initiatives in peace building, promoting democracy and governance by conducting peace dialogues, inter-religious dialogues, youth exchange programmes, youth camps, leadership training programmes, sports for peace programmes and prohibition (abolition of arrack) in the neighbouring villages. They are actively involved in emergency relief, peace education, environmental conservation and providing community-based health facilities in the rural areas nearby. Every year, many students of the Institute volunteer to become part of Shanthi Sena and carry rich experiences and fond memories with them when passing out from GRI.” Dr. Suneethi A S delivered vote of thanks. The Panel discussion came to an end by11.30 a.m

Prof (Dr) KP Suresh, Professor of Education Dean (Academics), Central University of Kerala Kasaragod, addressed this theme presentation. Dr. Laya A B delivered the welcome speech and introduced the resource person.
“SDG- policies and praxis in education, our resources are limited. With this limited resource, how can we share the available resource, not only for the generation, but for the generations coimg together. So we must be involved in preservation of natural resources for the coming generation, can we ensure the living and co - existence in earth in the future? The panacea for ensuring sustainability is through education. That is why United Nations had specifically formulated in the International Conference in Rio- De- Genero and it is adopted by all the member states in UN assembly in the year 2015, which replaces the Millennial Development Goals. Now these are substituted by Sustainable Development Goals. It aims to make all must enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. There are 17 integrated goals and among that 17 integrated goals Quality education has the fourth position. It is named as SDG- 4.7. It aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. SDG- 4.7 aims that by 2030 ensure that all learners acquire skills needed to promote Sustainable development, including among others and sustainable lifestyle, gender equality, promotion of culture of peace and non -violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity. As Mahatma Gandhi told:” we can have our needs of satisfaction from the nature, but not satisfy the greed of human being.”
ONLINE THEMATIC SESSION & DISCUSSION 4
The fourth discussion on theme Digital Readiness and Capabilities for Future Learning lead by Dr Baiju K Nath, Assistant Professor, Department of education, Calicut university. Kerala
attracted the keen attention of delegates. Smt. Saritha V K & Smt. Sudha K P, Assistant Professors of SNM Training College, Moothakunnam gave welcome and vote of thanks to the session.
“Digital, has been the key term, and an index of development in all realms of life. Digitalization has profound influence on human life, especially during the current pandemic situation. Though, the theory of digit evolved around nearly a century ago, the process of digitalization, enhances only recently, especially in the field of education. Ease of access, is the one of the prominent features of digital resources. Digital media are prominent and people with different range in literacy can access to it, provided an uninterrupted access to internet connectivity is available. Storage of digital resources is easy when compared to other types of learning resources. The quantum of information, that can be stored in a very limited space make it possible to store large volumes into negligible space. Retrieval of resources in digital form also is very easy. It is very difficult to locate a book even from our home library, but from a digital library it is so easy. Dissemination of digital resources also is very easy due to various sharing methods and applications, both online and offline. The young generation, usually the learner groups are more advanced in sharing of materials especially through social media. An alarming situation to us, teachers, if technology is growing in such a manner, and pandemic will continue for at least another year, our survival as teachers in the current conception may be in danger. Knowingly or unknowingly, technology became the part of teaching-learning process, so be a master of the required technology, otherwise it will make us slaves.”

“Epidemic outbreak of Corona virus has disrupted virtually all aspects of human life. It has shattered the rhythm and patterns. So, we have to recreate the human institution. It is an opportunity to rethink education. Rethink not means to focus on improving the schooling, but should focus on what, how and where of the learning. The traditional way of education is criticized and it was criticized for the purpose. Student asked to recite, rethink and repeat the content, not thinking about applying it. We can rethink the education in the perspective of children, not in the base of curriculum.”
