Overview

As cliched as it may sound, the world is rapidly changing. Preparing our children for the challenges that these changes may bring in their wake is non-negotiable. Preparation isn’t just about acquiring specific knowledge or skills, as we can’t predict the challenges ahead. What is essential is cultivating attitudes and mindsets that enable us to confront whatever obstacles lie ahead. To Every Parent, To Every School addresses the challenges posed by our swiftly changing VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world. It goes beyond mere knowledge acquisition or curriculum revisions, which are necessary and continuous processes; nor is it about swapping topics in and out of curricula. While these adjustments are necessary, they aren’t sufficient. What is crucial is empowering our children with the capacity to anticipate and adapt to rapid changes as they occur.

Raising resilient children in a VUCA world comes at the right time when schools and parents are challenged with a generation which has been fast forwarded into the virtual world. It’s an invaluable resource for all those who wish to unlearn their current beliefs and relearn new ways of building reflection, resilience and self-efficacy in a generation which needs more emotional and social anchoring than just academic performance. Raghu and Meena hammered just the right nail by putting this book together for many of us to develop new insights.’ -- Dr. K. Kasturirangan Chairman, National Education Policy Committee Chairman, National Steering Committee for National Curriculum Frameworks
