IIndia has undertaken some of the largest education initiatives in the world, providing hundreds of thousands of schools for India’s vast student population of c.280 million under the age of 14 and  600  million  under  the  age  of  25.  India’s  gross  school  enrolment  ratio  has  now  reached  over 95%. However, while quantitatively India is inching closer to universal education, the levels of quality, particularly in its government run school system, remain a cause for concern. After  a  15  year  gap,  India  has  embarked  on  a  review  of  its  National  Education  Policy  and  Curriculum Framework. It is expected that the review will revisit many of the intentions of the 2005 review, which were not implemented.
The  purpose  of  the  paper  is  to  reflect  on  the  extent  to  which  India’s  Draft  Education  Policy  2019 policy intentions are in line with international education reform recommendations, as outlined  in  ‘The  Learning  Generation:  Investing  in  education  for  a  changing  world’  report  (2015) produced by the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity.
The  paper  reflects  on  some  of  the  particular  challenges  that  India  faces  in  addressing  the  impact of poverty and non‐education factors on the quality of learning in India’s schools and the potential role of educational technology. The reflections seek to spark discussion about the scope of the draft policy and its implementation challenges.

The development of a closed-loop cycle is a necessary condition so as to develop a circular economy model as an alternative to the linear model, in order to maintain the value of products and materials for as long as possible. For this motive, the definition of the value must be demonstrated for both the environment and the economy. The presence of these analyses should be associated with the social dimension and the human component. A strong cooperation between social and technical profiles is a new challenge for all researchers. End of life of products attract a lot of attention, and the final output could be the production of technologies suitable for managing this waste.

"NASA’s Langley Research Center (LaRC) needed to test its current planning activities against a longer-term view of the external future. To do this, NaRC asked the Houston Foresight program to collaborate on the development of a set of longer-term external scenarios on the future of work. The goal was to stretch thinking out to the world of work in 2050 and then “bring it back” to a strategic approach and initiatives that could be started in the present.

The project used scenario planning to create long-term views of the future of work. The scenarios will be used to “wind tunnel” the current plans and activities of NASA and enable them to make the appropriate adjustments to their current strategy.

The Houston Foresight team consisted of Andy Hines (PI), alum Maria Romero (Project Manager), and students Tim Morgan, George Paap, and Mathew Palubicki."

This publication is a contribution to this role, in particular through the Futures of Educationinitiative that aims to generate an agenda for global debate and action on the futures of education, learning and knowledge in a world of increasing complexity, uncertainty and precarity. Acknowledging that all voices must be heard in order to shape and transform education, the initiative is based on a broad and open process of engagement involving a range of stakeholders at global, regional and local levels.
