NagaEd organised the Mokokchung School Administrator’s Meet on 3 February at Hotel Metsuben in Mokokchung with the objective of understanding the requirements of future work skills focusing on the secondary level (9 and 10) to ensure that students are job ready.

NagaEd is a leading digital education company that provides learning and teaching solutions for students, teachers, and institutions seeking a contemporary, digitally-enabled educational experience.

Kevisato Sanyü, founder of NagaEd, Nagaland and the resource person, stated that people of the Northeast are adapting to 230 years of industrial evolution in just one generation which is the 4th industrialisation, and added that with a survey that was conducted last year, 95% of workers surveyed in India acknowledged that they require digital skills.

He informed that in 2023 alone, over 27 million more jobs will require digital skills and further focused on the type of education available in the state. Sanyü asserted that Nagas, when given the right educational platform and opportunity, could achieve excellence in preparing the students for the future world.

He emphasised that the Cyber-Physical World (CPW) is occupying more space in the current generation. With an average student spending up to two hours a day on social media, Sanyü highlighted that the space occupied by the CPW is growing without the users being properly guided.

Talking to the attendees on “What is our responsibility in preparing our children for the future of life and work?”, he stated that hybrid jobs are growing at twice the rate of the overall job market with 20%-40% higher pay and entering every domain of business.

He stated that students from Nagaland and Northeast lack “resilience” and shared that NEP 2020 has been designed to adapt to the future of work.

“The new education policy must help to re-establish teachers at all levels, as the most respected and essential members of society, because they truly shape our next generation of citizens”, he stated.

The founder of NagaEd stated that the company uses a distinctive modular architecture, co-designed with Australian educators. The 6-crore module blocks designed with leading pedagogical practices were further checked out with the help of the formative and summative assessment, he added.

The session was followed by questions from the attendees where an inquiry was also made on whether digital education has been implemented in their respective schools or is yet to implement.

Representatives from schools in Mokokchung attended the programme.
