There is always a time for change in school curriculum, and now seems to be the best time. Former CBSE chairman Ashok Ganguly said at a seminar that there is a need for more refined technological based educational system in our country.

New teaching mythology should be introduced in schools to make the students more competent on global front. E-learning books with online guidance should be available to the students of our country as other countries. He also said that teachers should come forward for this initiative.

“Students will not be able to face global challenges in future if stereotype education delivery pattern is not changed on time. Technology is playing a vital role in school education in developed countries and this is the fact we cannot escape from”, Mr. Ashok Ganguly said.

He said that the conventional methods of teaching are outdated and should be replaced by these transformational means. He said this also should focus on each and every child’s learning, apart from his mental aptitude.

During the workshop, several teachers raised apprehensions on the introduction of technology in schools. “They were quite skeptical about the success of this new system initially. But as the day progressed they were all convinced that this new system will make our students more competitive to sustain in global environment”, said the CBSE chairman.

With infrastructure and finance needed for this, development and training of teachers is also needed. For this schools and parents would have to work together.
