Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala will introduce virtual classrooms in 34 industrial training
institutes (ITIs) in the state to improve quality of education in
these institutions, a minister said Monday.
"Students from weaker sections of the society frequent ITIs. We
have decided that they also should get advantage of the ongoing
technological revolution and the latest information related to
their curriculum," said state Labour Minister Shibu Baby John to
reporters here.
The state government has spent Rs.2.30 crore for setting up
virtual classrooms in these ITIs, he said.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy will Thursday inaugurate the new
facility at the Women's ITI at Kozhikode.
"Through this facility, all the 34 ITIs will get a huge value
addition. They will get connected to the latest technological
developments across the globe, besides have an opportunity to
listen to lectures by experts. We will also run a special soft
skill course using this facility," said John, an engineer turned
politician.
A new job website will also be launched for the nearly 47,000 ITI
students in the state.
"All job aspirants can register for free and post their resumes,
which will be linked to the state-owned Overseas Development and
Employment Promotion Consultants. This will enable the employers
to hire qualified hands," said John.
Kerala in the early '70s launched the ITIs in the country,
bringing technical education to the doorsteps of the
under-privileged.
