Commercialisation in education sector needs to be checked
The education system should be made more inclusive to make it work right down to the smallest villages and experts should devise steps to check commercialisation in the sector, Union Minister V K Singh said.
New Delhi: The education system should be made more inclusive to make it work right down to the smallest villages and experts should devise steps to check commercialisation in the sector, Union Minister V K Singh said.
"We haven't changed much in our educational system. The curriculum has not changed much, minor changes have taken place. I think educational leaders have great responsibility to find a solution which is good for the system and in effect for the nation," he said addressing an event of education experts.
Singh said a good system focuses on a comparatively cheaper school education which devolves more on ensuring development of children’s mind. Education leaders can think about a "change" which is good for the system and how this change takes place and how it is sold to the students and decision makers is to be decided by them.
"Once that is done, I am quite sure that we will have an education system that will stand on its own to contribute to nation building.
People in education sector also need to think about "checking" commercialisation which is "afflicting" education system.
It is this system which needs to be tweaked to be made more inclusive and make it to work right down to the smallest villages. That is where expertise lies and where technology can play its role," Singh said.
