AI powered self-learner :
The NEP 2020 at para 4.6 states that its thrust will be to move the education system towards real understanding and ‘learning how to learn’ – and away from the culture of rote learning. Its goal will be to create holistic and well-rounded individuals equipped with key 21st-century skills. Self-Learning is perhaps the most important 21st Century Skill. Once a person has ‘learnt how to learn’ the person is on the way to become a self-learner.
Robert Frost, the famous poet and Professor said “ I am not a teacher, I am an awakener”.
And Richard Feynman in his famous “ Lectures on Physics” quoted Edward Gibbons “and the power of instruction is of little efficacy except in those fortunate dispositions, where it is almost superfluous”.
One thing most successful people have in common is the desire and skill to self-learn. And with the availability of AI tools, self-learning is now practical for almost everyone, not just the gifted.
