Terry Durnnian, chief of education, UNICEF India, has called for increasing investment to standardise the Kerala model and adapting success stories from other countries that have achieved the goal of knowledge society.
He was speaking on ‘Leverage the promise of Kerala’s education: moving towards a knowledge economy and society’ at a seminar on school education in Kerala in connection with the ongoing Keraleeyam here on Friday.
Mr. Durnnian said that the State’s aspirations to become a knowledge economy fit well with its education vision and successes. However, to strengthen education, disparities in learning and skilling between social groups should be addressed. The proportion of highly skilled students should be increased and their transition to further education, training or employment ensured.
