Comparison with Other Countries
Expert Hubel drew parallels between the Indian education system and approaches from other countries, noting that the emphasis on creativity and independent thinking is largely similar to practices in Hong Kong and Luxembourg.However, he emphasized that in India, these ideas are implemented through practical projects and applied tasks, which distinguishes its model.
Digital Skills and Collaborative Projects
As part of his work at the "Akshar" foundation, Hubel participated in collaborative projects with students, including the creation of a short film.This experience demonstrated that many students confidently use modern technologies and digital tools—skills that are becoming increasingly necessary in the global economy.
A Possible Example for Global South Countries
According to Hubel, integrating skills necessary for employment and income generation into school curricula can have a significant impact on addressing youth unemployment.The combination of theoretical knowledge and practical training helps to reduce the gap between the education system and labor market demands.Additionally, he noted that India's efforts to expand access to skill-oriented education could serve as an example for other Global South countries seeking to reform their educational systems.
