- Movement to transform JK’s educational scenario gaining ground: Akhtar
- Focus to be brought back on students, teachers, curriculum
SRINAGAR: Reiterating that Government is determined to transform
the educational sector in the State, Minister for Education, Naeem Akhtar has
said that it is the fundamental and core sector for the Government and has been
flagged as priority area to provide quality education to the students. He said
the movement launched by the present Government to transform the State’s
educational scenario is gaining ground with various stakeholders
enthusiastically becoming a part of this endeavor of hope.
Addressing
the well attended gathering, the Minster said that the
workshop which involved brainstorming sessions on various issues, has
been able
to raise expectations from us, adding that beginning has been made and
tangible
results shall follow with perceptible transformation of schooling. The
Minister said what is needed is a real and concerted effort to
provide an enabling environment and work culture, better teacher and
student
relationship, sustaining teacher motivation and increasing the level of
interest and inquisitiveness among students.
Akhtar said teachers have a larger role to play in bringing back focus
on the students, adding that they will be given a free hand as long as they are
able to invest in the overall growth of a child. He said education per se is
not just having knowledge of the alphabets and the numerals, but it is a vast
concept that involves overall personality development of the child. He said
that such workshops help bring focus on several issues that go a long way in
resurrecting the education sector.
Later,
the group leaders also gave a brief about the outcomes of
discussions in their respective groups during the workshop. Earlier,
speaking on the occasion Prof Anita Rampal, underscored the
importance of having such interactive workshops and said that it is a
way
forward to address the larger task of changing the education system.
Director School Education, Kashmir, Joint Director School Education,
Kashmir, and various other dignitaries among principals and teachers
were
present on the occasion.
