‘IIT status for IT-BHU soon’
Varanasi: Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal assured that
IT-BHU will get IIT status soon.
The minister stressed that the education policy is being
finalised keeping in mind the country’s children
and not to push any political agenda. Talking to mediapersons
here on Saturday, Sibal said the HRD ministry had plans
for the core syllabus and not the common syllabus. He
said the decision to implement the core syllabus had been
taken unanimously by 22 boards and it would be implemented
in the country.
Only 12.4 per cent students after passing intermediate
get admitted in graduation courses. To remedy this, private
and global players need to invest in the education sector
as the government has limitations as far as increasing
the number of universities and colleges is concerned,
Sibal said.
He said there was a huge demand of skilled hands and experts
in all sectors across the world. For instance, the number
of engineers in the US falls far short of its requirement.
The demand for young engineers will also increase in countries
like Germany, he said. India can fulfil all these requirements
by ensuring quality education for students.
Sibal said ensuring higher and technical education for
talented children from poor families is proving to be
a major challenge as their parents were not in a position
to take loans from bank. |
