The Ministry of Education has announced sweeping reforms that will transform the national education system over the next decade. The reforms emphasize digital literacy, critical thinking, and practical skills alongside traditional academic subjects.
Key changes include mandatory coding classes from grade 3, project-based learning modules, and partnerships with technology companies to provide tablets to all students. Teacher training programs will be expanded to ensure educators are equipped with modern pedagogical tools.
Education Minister Dr. Sunita Rao stated, 'We are preparing our students for the jobs of tomorrow, not yesterday. This reform will position our nation as a leader in educational innovation.' The program will be rolled out in phases, starting with urban areas before expanding to rural regions.
Early pilot programs have shown promising results, with student engagement increasing by 60% and test scores improving across all subjects.
