Krishnankutty said that skills would acquire prominence over academic qualifications in the changing educational system.
He called upon teachers to come forward to teach students in accordance with their abilities. “Opportunities are innumerable in the sphere of education. Teachers have the responsibility to equip students for jobs. Teachers should ensure that students who leave the school are well placed,” he said.
Mr. Krishnankutty said that teachers should groom students in such a way as to be “known after their students.” The Minister said that training in areas such as solar, precision farming, micro irrigation and food processing would ensure good opportunities and placements for the students.
He asked the teachers to offer training in vocational programmes along with the studies. “We will offer all facilities for training,” he said.
He also added that students could be prevented from turning to drugs by bringing them to arts and sports.
