Thiruvananthapuram Education
al Declaration 2022
An International Conference was organized by Sree Narayana Guru Kripa B.Ed College, Pothencode, Trivandrum in collaboration with the Association of International Researchers of Indian Origin (AIRIO Global) and Kerala Higher Education Council from 26th to 27th of May 2022. The Conference was attended by delegates from different parts of India and abroad representing Universities, Colleges, Teacher Education Institutions and Non - Governmental Organizations. The Conference seriously discussed different aspects of innovations in education, research and peacebuilding.
Based on the academic deliberations, the members of the conference unanimously accepted the following which will be known as the “ Thiruvananthapuram Educational Declaration 2022”.
1. Innovations are necessary for teaching and learning which may be incorporated into the teacher education curriculum as per New Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
2. Innovative Programmes conducted by different Colleges and Educational Institutions may be collected and documented for future applications.
3. Institutions like NCERT, SCERT, DIET, SIEMAT etc may take lead in recording the innovations in the field of Pre-primary, Primary, Secondary and Higher Secondary education levels.
4. University departments of education may be directed to support the above programmes which will strengthen the ‘national building process’.
5. Research in education is an unavoidable part of the current educational scenario. All Higher Education Institutions may be directed to organize research programmes to strengthen the
P.T.O
educational scenario. Every qualified teacher in research programmes in tune with NEP 2020 may be supported with financial resources to conduct innovations and research. Specific research orientation programmes and training programmes may be organized by Universities, SCERTs and other research organizations to strengthen the research scenario in the country. A strong support system, including financial support, may be developed by Central Government, State Governments to empower the research programmes in the country.
6. Research publications and other related materials may be published in English and National languages at specific intervals to share the research information with the beneficiaries.
7. Research areas including research priorities may be fixed sufficiently earlier by identifying the specific educational needs of the society. It will help to streamline research programmes in a scientific and systematic fashion for the benefit of society.
8. We plead with the Govt of Kerala that provision may be given for Self Financing College teachers to do research at the University of Kerala, as in the case of normal students.
9. Permission may be granted to faculty members of Self Financing Colleges to become Research Supervisor in the different Universities in Kerala.
10. Peace education programmes are not properly organized systematically in our education system. Peace education may be introduced from Pre-Primary to Higher Education adopting appropriate methodology aiming at strengthening the process of conflict resolution and co-existence. Necessary and urgent steps may be taken by the education system in our country to implement peace education or peacebuilding programmes to save the younger generation from violence. The philosophy of non-violence, unity in diversity etc. may be encouraged by every governmental agency involved in the process of education.
May request the government authorities to take positive steps to study and implement the “Thiruvananthapuram Educational Declaration 2022” for the benefit of the members of the society.
