Minister for Education and Culture
For the Left Democratic Front Government which assumed office in May 2006. Education is a tool for social progress. It cannot be viewed as an end in itself. The Government cannot promote a throwback to diehard attitudes of obscurantism and to many stagnant concepts. Society has to change positively as the world changes and adapts itself. Education must aim at the comprehensive development of the new generation. It must help nation building at all layers. The 1957 EMS Government’s Education Bill, the 1987 Nayanar Government’s Total Literacy Campaign, the child friendly and activity – oriented curriculum of 1996 were all historical signposts of this perception about education. |
