All about the HT School Mini Editor Programme's commencement

HT School, the learning playground for millennial students, is an event-led edtech platform that comes with a bouquet of offerings. Aimed towards the holistic development of students, the wide array of products and services offered include highly impactful courses, workshops, discussions and content on skill development, new-age tech skills, art and creativity, learning techniques, careers and knowledge-based information. With the aim of giving a student’s voice to the content, HT School launched its Mini Editors initiative this Saturday with its first batch of student editors. They will work closely with the HT School Edit team and demonstrate their excellence, showing what it takes to rise and shine in a fast-paced world. &nbsp;



What is the HT School (HTS) Mini Editors Programme all about?&nbsp; This initiative involves the creation of an Editorial Board with students from schools all over the country to co-create content that matters. HT School Mini Editors will be actively taking part in the editorial process, documenting the milestones of a student’s learning journey and influencing their peers to be a part of this nationwide initiative. The aim is to connect new-age learners from all over the country and build an amazingly diverse cohort of student community that adds value and new meaning to the ever-evolving education sector. &nbsp;Sharing her thoughts on this initiative, Saanvi Khatter, one of the Mini Editors, says, "It's a great opportunity for like-minded people to come together and work closely with one another." 



Echoing a similar note of enthusiasm, Sandhya Awasthi, Principal, DPS, Greater NOIDA, says, "It's a wonderful initiative by Hindustan Times to ensure that the children are able to have an opinion and are able to formulate as well as articulate thoughts and ideas for themselves and the readers." Ms. Nidhi Tiwari, Principal, Ridge Valley School, Gurugram, is of the opinion that HT School Mini Editors programme is a very thoughtful initiative. "In schools, we have wonderfully gifted children. Their capacity to express themselves is spectacular. If they are given a platform like this, then they will not only be able to express their views and thoughts in a broader perspective, but will also be recognised. Moreover, when children of this Mini Editorial Board will be brought together to exchange ideas and build on new thoughts, it will be a great learning experience for them. It's an amazing way of recognising the talents of young children," she says.

What do HTS Mini Editors want to see on the platform?&nbsp; The vibrant group of students that the launch of HTS Mini Editors programme saw on Saturday, were all bubbling with ideas about what they would like to see on the platform. Here are some interesting suggestions that emerged from the first e-meet: Career counselling, portfolio building, mental health discussions, articles on the shortcomings of education system, creation of memes and short videos,&nbsp;discussions and articles on women empowerment and gender orientation,&nbsp;book and music reviews. &nbsp;



“We would like to see HT School focus on Gen Z issues such as mental health problems faced by students and the LGBTQ community too,” says Himanshi, one of the Mini Editors. According to another member of the Editorial Board, Anushka, career is a significant area that needs to be addressed. "Most of us would be finishing our school in a year and enter college. So, workshops and discussions surrounding career counselling and profile building should be a crucial part of the agenda," she says. Viraj, on the other hand, is a big fan of short-form content. "More than long-form pieces, our generation finds more interest in short, crisp videos," he says.



HT School in the eyes of its Mini Editors&nbsp; The first batch of Mini Editors came up with interesting one-word descriptions on the HT School platform. Here are some of the words that came up: Holistic, engaging, informative, bright, interesting, colourful, engaging. &nbsp;
