The session being contributed by Dr. Sethia started off with a constructive discussion on the topic " Direct relationship between school education and society" where he said that education at some point of time becomes a biggest baggage. One has to unlearn formal education giving a De- schooling experince to the future generation to become the epitome of knowledge and success in the society. Also he shared his experiences by giving sample caselets of distinguished schools outside India spreading quality education where the system of delivery is totally different than what is in India. The Indian education system goes through a very rigid curriculum and restrictions imposed on the students and due to this, there is very little opportunity of creativity and innovation to nurture the young talent. Many of the times, the teachers misinterprate the psycological mind set of the students due to the lack of flexibility of the system for which education is unable to flourish in India giving more stress on social development. But then slowly a tremendous change is taking place in the sector and education has become really a GAME CHANGER.

Lastly the session ended up with a WOW Effect by the members where everyone for the first time sprang up with energy and enthusiasm giving way to a wholistic change for the School of Tommorrow. The session was being attended by more than 100 faculty members from Heritage which embarked the renaissance -A DE-SCHOOLING Experience".
