To Blend in Benchmark Assessment 3. To Inculcate Employability Skills 4. To Nurture Core Values INDIAN LANGUAGE SCHOOL 2019 - 2020 Innovation in Education Education is the base of every society. It is often said that what and how we learn in school determines who we become as individuals in life. Education determines our ability to communicate, solve problems, our interpersonal relationships and how we perceive the world around us. With the blending of technology in every walk of life there is a dire need for innovation in education to meet the challenges of the fast-changing and unpredictable globalized world. There is still a significant gap between the potential of modern education and what students actually learn at school. Many educators still practice rote and old ineffective methods of teaching and learning. The adoption and exploration of innovative ideas in education is often slow and the acceptability to the change is very low. Since the delivery by teacher and expectations of students is mismatched most of the students have short attention span during class, feel unengaged and resort to in disciplinary activities in classrooms. Integrating Art in learning gives diverse opportunities to learners and makes learning interesting ,engaging, faster and efficient. Facilitating learning based on different learning styles is yet another way to engage learners. Technology allows teachers to individualize lesson plans to different students and their unique styles of learning.

  • Nigeria Bilateral Relations

    Nigeria Bilateral Relations

    BRIEF ON INDIA-NIGERIA BILATERAL RELATIONS Overall Relations: India and Nigeria enjoy warm, friendly and deep-rooted bilateral relations. India, with a population of 1.3 billion, and Nigeria, over 190 million, are large developing and democratic countries with multi-religious, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual societies. India as the largest democracy in the world and Nigeria as the largest in Africa, become natural partners. The struggle against colonialism and apartheid in the formative years after independence of the two countries laid strong foundation for the engagement of the two countries. India and Nigeria are playing an important role in the South-South Cooperation. In the multilateral organisations particularly United Nations, G77 and NAM, both countries have been articulating the voice of the developing world in a coordinated and effective manner. India established its Diplomatic House in Lagos in November 1958, two years before Nigeria became independent in 1960. Political contacts at the highest level were maintained during the last 60 years. The presence of a large Indian expatriate community of about 50,000, the largest in West Africa adds value to the importance of the long-standing relationship between the two countries. Bilateral Visits India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s landmark visit to Nigeria in September 1962 and his interaction with Nigeria’s first Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa had created mutual goodwill, respect and friendship between the two countries and leaders. Two Nigerian Presidents visited India as the Chief Guests at India’s Republic Day i.e. in 1983 by President Shehu Shagari and in 2000 at India’s 50th Republic Day celebrations by President Olusegun Obasanjo.
