isb conference

The ISB is holding a conference about education to foster innovation. The registration fee is
Rs 8000/-
The 'who should attend' list includes school and college principals, citizens who are interested in education....
Can teachers or private citizens pay this much? I would have like to attend it, but it's too expensive.
Most of their second day's programs must be addressed to teachers...those who will actually be doing the job!
For example, the lecture "Pedagogies / Teaching Methods in Higher Education to Enhance Innovation Capacity ", should be heard by teachers not the vice president of some company.

We have conferences in posh places where a few people in positons of power debate an issue much like a school debate competition....."full of sound and fury signifying nothing"
The real people who should be debating and deciding and doing are left out of the discussions.
Jairam Ramesh's discussions with the general public and different stakeholders about the introduction of bt brinjal, was the first time the people concerned were taken into account.
