Chapter 18  Turmoil to Triumph: The Man Who Saw Tomorrow by Naga Tummala

Q1. "Education must enable young people to effect what they have recognized to be right, despite hardships, dangers, skepticism, boredom, and mockery from the world." – Kurt Hahn

How can educators empower students to stand by their values and make the right choices, even when faced with hardships, skepticism, or societal pressure?

Q2. Miracles happen when people trust in their abilities. What strategies can educators use to help students develop inner confidence, trust their abilities, and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth?

Q3. Setbacks and struggles often pave the way for growth and success. How can educators shift students' mindsets to view setbacks as learning opportunities rather than obstacles? What strategies can reinforce the idea that resilience and perseverance lead to long-term success?

Q4. "We were at the right time, in the right place, and in the right field." Was it sheer luck, or were they keen observers? How can educators help students develop the skill of noticing opportunities rather than relying on luck?

Chapter 15 Cambridge Chronicles: The Man Who Saw Tomorrow by Naga Tummala

Q1. Many school systems focus on structured curricula, leaving little room for real-world learning. How can we balance academic rigor with experiential learning to provide a holistic education?

Q2. A student in your class often becomes discouraged when facing setbacks, seeing them as failures rather than learning opportunities. Inspired by Shomie’s resilience when confronted with challenges (such as being mistaken for a spy), how would you guide this student to develop a growth mindset and view obstacles as stepping stones to success?

Q3. Shomie fondly recalls one-on-one interactions with supervisors and Nobel laureates. How can we, as teachers, foster more meaningful mentor-mentee relationships with our students to support their academic and personal growth?

Q4. If your students were given opportunities to step outside the classroom for hands-on learning, what specific real-world tasks or internships would you introduce to help them develop independence, problem-solving skills, and adaptability?

We warmly welcome the author Naga Prasada Tummala:

“To build a school is to build a civilisation; with technology, a school can be accessible anywhere, anytime.” Quote from the Linkedin Profile of Naga Tummala

This motto underscores the visionary approach of Naga Tummala, the co-founder and CEO of Coschool www.coschool.ai, a generative AI-powered, comprehensive learning system that empowers schools.
Naga’s journey in education began over 30 years ago as the co-founder and chairman of the People Combine group, which founded Oakridge International Schools. He is also one of the co-founders of FICCI ARISE and a key strategic brand behind its rise to significance. People Combine was acclaimed as one of India’s top 15 workplaces in 2019 by Great Places to Work and The Economic Times and was recognised among India’s top 10 for working women in 2016 and 2017 by Avatar and Working Mother Group. In 2019, its divestment from Oakridge set a precedent as India’s largest FDI in education. As a socially conscious individual, Naga pledged to donate one-third of his net worth to philanthropy.
