The 44th All Kerala Technical High School Kalolsavam began at Government Technical High School, Chittur, Palakkad, on January 4 (Thursday). Inaugurating the festival, Minister for Power K. 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.
