By 2030, more than half of 12th-passed Indians will lack the skills to get jobs: Unicef #youngindia2030

South Asia is at a critical juncture right now. Every day, a sports stadium worth of youngsters join the workforce, but half of them don’t have the skills to handle 21st-century jobs. A recent press release by the Unicef lists the population percentage in each South Asian country who are on track to complete secondary education and also reach their learning benchmarks by 2030. Sadly, only 47% of the young students in India will get the right skills at the right time.
As per data produced by the Global Business Coalition for Education (GBC-Education), the Education Commission, and UNICEF, India loses out to only Maldives (46%), Nepal (46%) and Pakistan (40%) who are projected to see even fewer young students reach the right level of learning and skills to tackle the jobs of 2030.
With the best projection among South Asian countries, Bhutan is set to see 81% of its students reach the learning outcomes by 2030.

Exploring the Streets of Bengaluru: Face Reading and Shared Risks

Sometimes, the most profound lessons come from stepping out into the world, engaging with people from all walks of life, and embracing the shared risks that come with unconventional learning experiences... Suneel My recent stay in Bengaluru took an unexpected turn when I decided to explore the back lanes of MG Road. Little did I know that a chance encounter with a psychology student would open up a fascinating experience of face reading right there on the bustling streets.
