New age teachers making learning fun

While Kapil Sibal's makeover zeal in education makes headlines everyday, a small group of corporate professionals are churning a quiet revolution in India's primary schools.

New age teachers are changing the way children learn. 

There's a nice interaction between students and teachers during activities.

For the first time, they're not learning by rote, taking math and science lessons through interaction and fun activities and the kids seem to love it.

The new-age classroom is the brainchild of men and women, once who went to IITs, IIMs and the Havard, worked in Fortune 500 companies across the globe.

They returned 10 years ago to their homeland to develop and train teachers in alternative education, a system that reduces stress of competition.
 
170 schools under different academic boards, now follow their model.

''The broadcast method doesn't work. It's a question of adults changing the way they teach, not children changing themselves," said Ashish Rajpal, CEO of iDiscovery.

Not only cities, they are also reaching out to rural schools with a similar classroom on wheels.

''I'm glad the change is happening where it should, at the starting point in the journey of a child when he needs to build up his thinking and articulation skills. This kind of an intervention at 25 is too late," said Arun Jain, Chairman of Polaris.

It's a perfect example of a reverse brain drain and this team is now holding talks with many state governments to improve the quality of learning in government.
