Caselet of India Vision 2035: Education



Meenakshi was doing well in 7th grade in her school but she had developed a sudden interest in hyperbolic geometry. While her robotic teacher was good in handling regular queries in the class, it was not programmed to provide special interest classes as that would disturb the rest of the class. The government had taken an early decision to develop silicone based robotic teachers that looked very real to children, driven by AI, to aide in teaching as clearly, it was impossible to churn out high quality teachers for the 200 million students of the country. In addition, there was a challenge to provide high quality higher education, vocational education and continuing education to a large population, that was hungry for education in a world where skills were getting outdated fast.
However, in this case, Meenakshi needed support from an expert in hyperbolic geometry, who could guide her to write her research paper on the ideas that she had developed. The National Education System, which powered the robotic teachers, automatically assigned her to Prof. Mithi in Itanagar, a world-renowned scientist in hyperbolic geometry. Prof. Mithi has been mentoring a few students who came from India, Egypt and Uzbekistan.  
In a few months, Meenakshi’s research paper on hyberbolic geometry was published in the National Online Open Journal as well as in the renowned Journal of Geometrical Calculations. Her research could be accessed freely by other students in India.
