The delegates of the 3 rd Loka Kerala Sabha have called for upgrading school and higher education curricula in the State to attain its ambition of a knowledge economy.
Many participants who took part in a session on ‘The possibilities of migrant population’s involvement in creating a knowledge economy’ also felt that the lack of soft skills among Keralite job aspirants were impeding their career prospects.
Lishar Peedikayil, a U.S.-based IT product manager, urged the government to introduce lessons in artificial intelligence (AI) in the State syllabus from the high school level. The CBSE had introduced AI in its curriculum having realised its importance. The fourth industrial revolution was being driven by the emergence of AI, data science, and other such advanced areas of study, he said.
