PM asks private sector to come forward to improve quality of school education

“We have to constantly redefine and redesign our teaching-learning process to make our education sector world class. In this rapidly changing era, our teachers also need to learn about new systems and techniques at a rapid pace. The country is preparing its teachers for these changes,” he said in his address at an education ministry event.

The Prime Minister also unveiled ‘Vidyanjali 2.0’, a platform to facilitate education volunteers, donors and CSR contributors for school development.

“The Prime Minister said that ‘Vidyanjali 2.0’ is like a platform for the nation’s resolve of ‘Sabka Prayas’ with ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’. In this society, our private sector has to come forward and government Will have to contribute in enhancing the quality of education in schools,” the PM’s office said in a statement.

He said that the National Digital Architecture i.e. N-Dear can play a major role in eradicating inequality in education and its modernization. N-DEAR will act as a ‘super-connect’ between various educational activities in the same way as the UPI interface revolutionized the banking sector.

PM Modi also said that in the last few years, public participation is again becoming the national character of India. He said that for the progress of any country, education should not only be inclusive but should be equal.

He said the School Quality Assessment and Assurance Framework (SQAAF), which was launched on Tuesday, will address the lack of a common scientific framework for dimensions such as curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, infrastructure, inclusive practices and governance process . “SQAAF will help bridge this disparity,” he said.
