Training educators for a better tomorrow

Change is the only constant thing in the world. The profile of the 21st century learner is changing. Learning in the 21st century refers to the need to shift away from 3Rs — reading, writing and arithmetic — to develop skills in the 4Cs — communication, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity — which are essential at all stages of life.
Hence, 21st century teaching, approach and education is required. The teacher needs to acquire skills. In other words she needs to learn before teaching. Moreover, lifelong learning is one of the most effective ways to deal with change. Therefore, to prepare the 21st century educator a ‘Teacher’s Training Programme’ was held  for the teachers of Delhi Public World School, Amaravati.
The workshop was conducted by the Education and Research council of Delhi Public World Foundation. The resource persons were  Indra Dewan and Dr Radha Singh.
The workshop ignited the minds of the teachers and opened up a lot of new possibilities. The hallmark of a 21st century educator is to adapt to dynamic teaching, be a visionary, collaborator, organiser, role model, an exemplary leader and above all, a good communicator. 
It taught teachers to value every student. The teacher should be a source of encouragement, involve everyone in class, have fun with students, be a good listener, encourage and nurture. For smart students teachers need to be smarter facilitators.

  • About Us

Times Newspaper in Education (Times NIE) is a novel program that helps students ‘Stay Ahead’ and aims at making ‘Learning Fun’. It introduces concepts that help individual growth and development beyond school curriculum.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
