The New Indian Express Kannur
|September 04, 2025
VISIONARY educationist and founder-principal of Chinmaya School, Kamakshi Balakrishnan, passed away on Wednesday. She was 99.
Widely remembered as one of the three figures who laid the foundation for CBSE education in south India in the 1970s and 80s (alongside Y G Parthasarathy and Alamelu), Kamakshi, with her sisters, was instrumental in bringing the CBSE stream to Kochi and Kerala in the late 1970s. As founder-director of Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth, Kochi, she carved new paths in education, emphasising academic rigour while fostering cultural and artistic pursuits.
She later served as trustee of the Chinmaya Education Trust and as director of several school boards, helping raise institutional standards and popularise CBSE curriculum across the state.

The Alpha School Project: A Daring Innovation
The Alpha Schools enterprise is a highly innovative experiment in school education in the US that commenced in 2014 based essentially on the use of AI. It is a bold departure from the traditional. Its essential features focus on personalised learning, efficiency, and holistic development. Founded in Austin, Texas, the Alpha School challenges the conventional modelwhere students endure lengthy lectures across fragmented subjects-by reallocating time to AI-powered learning and essential life skills. This for-profit private institution is crafting footprints in other cities. It also plans potential charter school integrations for broader access. It has at the same time sparked a debate: Is it a transformative force or a fleeting experiment?
