India is busy constructing roads, tech campuses, airports and factories and growing by 6% a year - but its education system leaves a lot to be desired / says the Economist
500m of its people are under 20— there is India’s brainy elite getting quals and the best education but for most Indians they are jobless and do not have the basic language literacy and numeracy skills!
This could bring India’s economic development to a premature stop.
Why?
What are some of the root causes of this lack of education ?
It’s the teachers - says the Economist
Teachers are poorly trained and badly supervised:
Why is Vietnam’s kids doing so well ? It’s the teachers - they are better prepared, more experienced and more likely to be held accountable if their pupils flunk.
The good news is that there has been a splurge on infrastructure. A decade ago only a third of government schools had handwashing facilities and only about half had electricity; now around 90% have both.
Since 2014 India has opened nearly 400 universities. Enrolment in higher education has risen by a fifth.
BSI is proud to help solve this wicked problem by being a part of a collaboration between Australian and Indian educational institutions!
In the meantime , India’s biggest ed-tech firm has been slashed from 22b -6 b as a result of non compliance and a $1.2b debt around its neck !
Byju’s, who is trying to fix this problem of educating Year K-12s - and says it educates over 150m people worldwide . Deloitte has resigned for non compliance - resulting in many of its backers directors to resign Prosus, Peak XV Partners and !
Investors in BYJU include Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital, General Atlantic, Prosus and Tencent.
The Economist points out that Indian students are reviving UK universities
Last year more than 6,000 students, or about one-quarter of the total of University of East London hailed from India.
The vice-chancellor, Amanda Broderick, says that uel has a global feel.
It is booming.
Total enrolment at the campuses has jumped by more than 60% since 2017.
Between 2017 and 2021 Britain saw a sixfold rise in Indians starting new courses.
Visa data suggest that India had displaced China as the number-one sender of foreign students to Britain.
A change in visa rules, in 2019. (Australia take note!!!)
Officials restored a scheme that lets foreigners stay, and work, for two years after they graduate.
Students use those years to find employers to sponsor longer-term visas, or try to earn enough to pay down debts -
The win win win is that these students are Helping the economy with the labour shortage !!!
There is a boon for university finances. Foreigners pay higher fees than locals and now provide around one-fifth of university income. In subjects such as business and management, postgraduates from overseas outnumber Britons by about ten to one.
The opportunity for students to study in India - with BSI Learning - in partnership with Indian Universities - with a view to get an Australian Diploma and a pathway to Australian Universities - is a game changer says Kala Philip - CEO of BSI Learning .

In 5 years animation has improved more than 1000 times using #ai
how has this been done ?
So what is the breakthrough of chatgpt?
💥it’s the capability to learn the structure of anything - and with with prompts we can guide - #ai to understands and uses language and transform it to another structure #ai
💥Input Text - analyse language - pictures
💥Generative ai - with prompts - information transferred to other information dna, proteins
💥Why is it so powerful - what’s the 10x factor?
💥It’s so Easy to use - Chat GPT or generative AI will revolutionise how we connect communicate and collaborate
NVIDIA is now working with 1600 startups - it’s taking computing to another level ! What happens when computer power is 1000 times faster using quantum computing?
Current video and communication is antequated
Communicate - deconstruct - reconstruct
😎The future of video
The NVIDIA chip will be a universal translator -
Communicated - perceived - reconstructed - regenerated and received
Pictures will be perceived vs received . What you send is not yours but a hybrid .
❓What is real?
This is the result
The ability to transform Text to animation
The next phase of ai and life - each person will have a “digital twin” - a servant that will do whatever you want it to do - a robot that will understand your words - and do whatever you want - a system that understands the law of physics ?
Using human feedback and reinforcement learning - it will be able to perceive your wants and needs - to analyse your moods and understand your desires !
💥Production and throughput of factories
Every factory will have a digital factory . It will be created before a factory is built -and then transform that twin into reality .
Questions ❓❓❓❓❓
How will this affect
❓Your current reality ?
❓ The way you live ?
❓ The way you feel?
❓The way you behave ?
❓Your environment around you?
❓The metaverse?
❓Does climate change go away?
❓Do our “beings” get transformed into another “body”
think “Dr Spock and Star Trek” think “avatar” becoming a reality using generative AI . Do “human beings” get transformed into “digital beings” - are we the same being ?
❓Are we just at the beginning of another revolution ?
❓Will life in 2043 be completely different to what life is today?
❓Will our “digital twin” become a “digital being” and make the “human being “ redundant?
? Does gender and racial bias go away - you can be whoever you want to be ?
