Managing a Silent Revolution: Educational Change in Tamil Nadu from India British Council on Vimeo.
A ‘Silent Revolution' has taken place in south Indian primary schools. A vision of individualized, interactive learning was realised with the implementation of Activity Based Learning. The Tamil Nadu government managed this change and now together with British Council and Unicef, aims to give children relevant and quality exposure to English.
An overview, supported by a short video will show how teachers' attitudes and behaviours have changed and how the creation of an activity based environment was implemented in all government primary schools across this large state.
The talk will continue by describing how ‘Project English' managed by British Council together with Unicef have worked with the state government to develop and deliver a cascade teacher development programme for 120,000 teachers.
Finally the lessons learned from this collaborative project have been pulled together by all three partners to produce a ‘toolkit' of practical guidelines on how to ensure the smooth planning and implementation of large scale INSET projects in developing countries.
