Embark on a fascinating educational and cultural tour of three famed universities of the world: Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard. Compare and contrast the quality of education delivered in the West, with that imparted in other parts of the world, particularly Asia.The book suggests ways in which EdTech and artificial intelligence (AI) can radically transform education and bring about 100 per cent literacy. It discusses how India can attract foreign students and makes the case for the entry of foreign universities It makes far-reaching recommendations that address the issues of expansion, equity, employability and excellence within the Indian educational system.The book provides answers to questions that have perplexed intellectuals. What is so special about Indians that so many of them have become CEOs of the biggest companies in the world? How is it that India can land a spacecraft on the moon, but many of its roads, buildings and homes are in a constant state of disrepair? If, and only if, India is able to address the formidable challenges its educational system faces, it will be India, not China, that in time to come is the global leader in education.With increasing affluence and influence, Asia is now changing and rising. Donning the hat of a futurist, Rajesh Talwar makes a compelling case for why global leadership and excellence in higher education will eventually shift to Asia in the coming decades. The author makes brilliant, unorthodox, out-of-the-box suggestions on how to improve and fast-track the quality of education in India in an informal, relatable and inimitable style.
