Abstract

Our country is full of young people, 35% of our population is below the age of 20 according to the 2011 Census. They are the future of our nation. At the same time we are in the midst of revolutionary changes brought about by the new technologies on the one hand and globalization on the other. The big challenge for educators today, be it parents or teachers, is not just to impart knowledge and contents to young people, but how to help them apply their knowledge to life and imbibe the values that will help them live healthy, happy and meaningful lives. It is in this context that ten educational principles for a changing world are presented in this article.
