Himachal Pradesh Education Minister Rohit Thakur Saturday directed officials of his department to make necessary changes in the education system for eradication of drug menace from the state. Presiding over a review meeting of the education department here, he said ignorance about the consequences of drugs, curiosity, and psychological reasons often draw students into drug addiction. "It has become imperative to ingrain in the mind of every child in Himachal Pradesh that we together can fight this evil and can contribute towards building a healthy society," the minister said.

The USD 245-billion Indian technology industry on Wednesday flagged the "employability gap" in engineering graduates, saying that the education system is not focusing on building strong foundational and professional skills. Debjani Ghosh, the president of the technology industry lobby Nasscom, told reporters that the gap in skillsets forces IT companies to spend more time in training the freshers before they are deployed, which results in significant costs. Over the last two decades, Indian IT companies have been rendering services for the world courtesy of cost arbitrage and the number of engineering graduates which the country puts out into the market every year. But the changing nature of requirements seems to have led to disappointments. Ghosh said that today's engineers are not working in backoffice any more, but sitting with the customers as the industry shifts from service provider to digital transformation partner. our current educational system does not focus on building g

The old Macaulay system of education was "rogue" as students had to "read, write and vomit", Union MoS for Education Subhas Sarkar said on Saturday. Speaking to reporters at the Raj Bhavan, he said the New Education Policy (NEP) will help students get holistic education. "The previous Macaulay system of education was rogue. Students had to read, write and then vomit. The entire globe is shifting from the old educational policy to a new holistic manner of education, which is imparted in such a way that students can give back to society," he said. British politician Thomas Babington Macaulay played a key role in introducing English as the medium of instruction for education in India in the 1800s. "Now, we need holistic education, and there should not be any compartment. An Arts student can study Physics and Chemistry, whereas a Science student can include History and Economics as his choice of subjects," Sarkar said. He was part of a panel discussion on NEP at the Raj Bhavan, organi

Education is the key driver for development, and a critical enabler for people's empowerment, Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L Murugan said on Wednesday. Education should keep pace with the changes driving the world today, he said. Owing to rapid transformation in recent years, what is needed is an education system that equips people, especially the more vulnerable ones, with knowledge, skills, values and attitudes required for productive and responsible lives, Murugan said.

Some of these include addressing issues of early childhood care and education, preventing school dropout, ...
