The 4th Industrial Revolution has arrived.
AI will render millions of jobs obsolete, and many will not have the skills for new jobs. Two-thirds of today's primary children will be required to take up jobs that don't exist today. So how do we prepare children to flourish and be happy in a future we do not know?
The challenge for education is straight forward: how do we prepare children to compete with algorithms and computers. We do so by doing what computers cannot do, by educating the heart and the mind, the software that driver the hardware; and the brain. At Indus, we do this by focusing on:
Practising the school's core values of love, empathy, respect and discipline
Tolerance
Acceptance
Beliefs based on faith and reason
(This is the essence of the message brought to newly elected Leaders of The Indus Student Council at Bangalore, by Lt. Gen. Arjun Ray (Retd.), CEO of the Indus Trust on the occasion of The Ceremony of Investiture on January 26th, 2012)
