NTU Singapore Delegates Praise Galgotias University’s Bold Vision, Predict a Leadership Role in Transformative Education

Greater Noida (20 November 2024): Galgotias University marked a transformative milestone in education with the inauguration of its state-of-the-art Active Learning Centre. Esteemed delegates from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, globally renowned for their cutting-edge pedagogies and research, graced the ceremony, adding international prestige to the event.

Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, shared insights into the vision behind the initiative. “The Active Learning Centre reflects our commitment to reimagining education. By moving from a teacher-centric to a learner-centric model, we are fostering innovation, collaboration, and dynamic learning experiences.” He emphasized the university’s dedication to transforming traditional classrooms into interactive spaces with modern, flexible seating arrangements that promote teamwork and engagement. “This pioneering change, a first in India, was made possible with NTU’s invaluable guidance,” he added.

To ensure seamless implementation of this innovative paradigm, Galgotias University’s faculty is undergoing rigorous training under NTU experts. “This is not merely an infrastructural upgrade; it’s an overhaul of the educational experience itself,” Dr. Galgotia remarked. “We aim to empower both students and educators with tools for more engaging, collaborative, and impactful learning.”

Professor Richard James, Former Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of Melbourne, lauded the initiative during an exclusive interview with Ten News. “The G-Scale initiative at Galgotias University is a bold step toward revolutionizing education,” he said. “Transforming classrooms into active learning spaces will ignite passion and problem-solving among students, creating a more vibrant and effective learning environment. This university’s rapid growth positions it as a rising star in India’s education system.”

Professor James further advised Indian universities aspiring for global recognition to learn from Galgotias University. “By focusing on excellence, ambition, and innovation, Galgotias is setting a benchmark for others.”

Assoc. Prof. Low Kin Yew, Deputy Associate Provost at NTU, expressed his admiration for the university. “This is my first visit to Galgotias, and I am deeply impressed by its vibrant campus and enthusiastic students. The leadership’s vision to integrate active learning aligns with our approach at NTU,” he noted. Prof. Low highlighted that with strong leadership and resource allocation, any institution could replicate this success. “Motivated faculty, clear objectives, and a passion for education can empower students to achieve their dreams,” he added.

Prof. Gan Chee Lip, Associate Provost at NTU, emphasized the importance of leveraging human resources in tandem with infrastructure. “State-of-the-art facilities are important, but their impact depends on the people using them. Faculty and students need the skills to fully utilize these resources,” he said. Reflecting on India-Singapore relations, Prof. Gan underscored opportunities for collaboration between the two nations. “Universities must identify their unique strengths rather than imitating others. By focusing on tailored education and research programs, Indian universities can shine globally.”

Assoc. Prof. Andy Khong Wai Hoong, Deputy Associate Provost at NTU, described his impressions as “exciting and inspiring.” He praised the university’s commitment and resources, predicting that Galgotias University will emerge as a leader in innovative teaching in the region. “This achievement reflects the dedication of the senior management and faculty, who are shaping the future of education,” he remarked.

The inauguration of the Active Learning Centre is more than just a milestone for Galgotias University—it is a bold declaration of intent to redefine higher education in India. By fostering collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving, the university is creating a vibrant academic ecosystem that empowers students to reach their full potential.
