The education scenario has experienced turbulence post-COVID-19, and all stakeholders face challenges due to paradigm shifts. Every educator’s aim is to prepare students as future universal citizens. Today’s toddler is the architect of the future world. A person’s life & personality certainly formed by the quality of education one receives, thus the education process itself requires transformation and updating. According to available sources, the NEP 2020 and NCF 2023 focus on experiential learning that stays with a pupil throughout their life.
Since the school's inception in 2014, a lot has changed in the educational system, especially due to the progress of science and technology. Evolution and transformation are the core of the nature so to in education system we are in 2024, a lot of changes occurred all the relevant field, including social and family life. Looking ahead to 2034, by the time our pioneering batches of students will complete their education. Education is never static; it changes as part of progress and, in itself, brings about change and progress. From the agrarian revolution and the gurukul system prevalent in our country for centuries to the industrial revolution and associated education systems, each era has brought its own educational transformations. In the present scenario, due to rapid development and exponential inventions in science and technology, we need a paradigm shift in the teaching-learning process. With modern technologies, we must strive to ensure that quality education becomes accessible, affordable, and adaptable to all students who are part of our institution. The acronym VUCA (vola tility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) will continue to define the education system, the labour market, and even the world economic and political systems.
The mission of our school should be to self-empower all learners with the skills, mindsets, and qualities needed for the future. It is a rewarding experience to mould hundreds of creative, imaginative, disciplined, humble, resilient, and intelligent youngsters who are the future flag bearers and role models of our nation. The world is becoming increasingly interconnected, and new technologies are transforming the way we live and work. Skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and adaptability are in high demand. Embrace technology and learn how to navigate the digital landscape responsibly.
In the city of Agra, we have many good schools run by the Christian minority, with a rich legacy and heritage spanning many years. St. Thomas is in its infancy compared to these institutions, but we aim to stand out by providing an education with a difference as per the aspirations of the young ones in a changing scenario.
I would like to appreciate all the members of the faculty and other employees of our school for their dedicated service. School is known as the second home, and our teachers are mentors to the needs of each individual learner. I am also delighted to observe the enthusiasm of young learners; whenever a new idea or activity is introduced, good reciprocity is experienced. I sincerely thank all the parents for their trust in the institution and its management and for their ongoing cooperation.
