The National Education Policy (NEP) has transformed the landscape of learning in India. By advocating for 21st century skills, creativity, inclusiveness and digital fabrication, the NEP has positioned an education system that gives learners not only the content, but the skills needed to be successful in a rapidly changing world. At the core of this shift is the concept of holistic development which includes everything from creativity, communication and problem solving, to emotional intelligence. This is where BrainShaala comes in. BrainShaala, through scientifically designed courses and whole-brain development platform, provides learners with the training that is flexible and skills-based learning according to the spirit of the NEP.
Addressing the Gaps in Traditional Learning
For decades education in India has been heavily dependent on rote learning and memorization, and students suffer the consequences. They are not equipped to deal with real world challenges. The NEP calls out this very challenge and encourages education to be experiential, multi-disciplinary, and skill based.
BrainShaala takes on these issues head-on. Its courses develop both hemispheres of the brain, so you are developing logical, creative and emotional capacities in the same course. BrainShaala focuses on life skills making sure students are equipped not just for exams, but engaging with the world as they transition from the classroom to other pursuits, such as work or life.
