The UDF government will modernise minority youth training centres across the State by strengthening their digital and technological infrastructure, General Education Minister N. Samsudheen said here on Sunday.
He was inaugurating the Chavakkad Centre for Continuing Education and Minority Youth Training (CCMY), established as part of the State government’s 100-day action programme. N.K. Akbar, MLA presided over the function.
Mr. Samsudheen said the government was implementing several programmes aimed at the educational and socio-economic advancement of minority communities. More than 4,000 people had secured employment through the 24 existing training centres and 17 sub-centres in the State, he said.
As part of the 100-day programme, the training centres have been upgraded with CCTV surveillance and digital facilities, the Minister said.
Education was undergoing rapid transformation at the national and international levels and Kerala needed to respond by introducing new learning programmes, he said.
“Kerala’s children should never be left behind in examinations or interviews. We are promoting computer education and technology with the objective of equipping them to meet the demands of a changing world,” Mr. Samsudheen said.
He said the government was also integrating technology into school education. The Digital Square project had been introduced in lower primary and upper primary schools, while artificial intelligence, robotics and science programmes were being promoted at the high school level as part of the 100-day action programme.
“The objective of public education is to equip our children to compete at the global level,” the Minister said.
