Overview

What does it mean to teach when the world keeps changing faster than any training programme anticipated? The Paradeshi Teacher is the second volume in Dr. Bismi Sainudeen's AI in Education: The Indian Classroom Series - a landmark work at the intersection of the COVID rupture, the Artificial Intelligence revolution, and a world in which 468 million children now live in areas affected by armed conflict. Paradeshi, from Malayalam, means a stranger in a strange land. In March 2020, every teacher in India became one. This book is their account - and their roadmap forward. What This Book Covers The COVID Rupture: What really happened to India's 320 million students when schools closed with four hours' notice - the data, the device gap, the bodies that sat still, the attention that rewired itself. The Return That Changed Everything: Three types of returning student, the institutional amnesia that wasted hard-won digital skills, and the three actions that should have been taken - and still must be. The AI Storm: Why 88% of students now use generative AI while fewer than 57% of teachers can answer a basic AI misconception question - and what that gap means for the classroom of 2026. Teaching in a World on Fire: Conflict-sensitive education, the traumatised teacher, Gen Alpha and Gen Beta, and a curriculum that stands still while the world runs. Rights, Law, and Dignity: The DPDP Act 2023, POCSO, the IT Act, the UNCRC - what every teacher, student, and parent must now know about their legal position in the digital classroom. The Roadmap: A subject-by-subject framework for teacher education, five non-negotiable policy demands, and a 90-day professional renewal plan any teacher can begin today. Who This Book Is For Every teacher navigating AI without institutional support. Every teacher educator who knows the B.Ed. curriculum is overdue for revision. Every policy maker who has acknowledged a problem without funding its solution. Every parent who wants to know what questions to ask at the next school meeting. And every student who deserves to know that the rights protecting them in the digital world are real. What Makes This Book Different Every claim is sourced. Every problem named is documented in national and international data. This book does not comfort - it honours the teacher by telling the truth about what she has been asked to carry, and what she must now be given. It is simultaneously evidence-based and deeply personal. It knows the data, and it knows the person behind the data. The Paradeshi does not remain a stranger forever. The Paradeshi learns the land. And then - leads it. Series: AI in Education: The Indian Classroom Series, Volume II Author: Dr. Bismi Sainudeen, Ph.D. in Education UGC-NET & JRF (Education) UGC-NET (English) SET (English)
