Kolkata: Asserting
that the passage of the Foreign Education Providers Bill will help
Indian students to have a world class education, union Human
Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal Wednesday said he
wants 'Inspector Raj' to be abolished from schools.
"I personally want inspection to be abolished from school. The
school should upload on its website what it offers, the
qualifications of the faculty, the fees. All essential features
must be uploaded on the website," said Sibal while addressing a
programme here.
"And if the government finds out that what has been put is
inconsistent with the reality on the ground, then that should be
termed as 'educational malpractice'. The people will be prosecuted
and fined in accordance with the quantum of malpractice but there
would be no inspection," he added.
But Sibal regretted that this policy would never see the light of
the day as a large section of the private sector has an enormous
stake in ensuring that its business runs as usual.
"The political parties also get persuaded by those elements in the
private sector who do not want change. But I think the time has
come to rise above politics as we are dealing with the future of
India," said Sibal.
Sibal batted for the passage of the Foreign Education Providers
Bill to be passed as it would help Indian students to interact and
exchange ideas with foreign faculty and students.
"It would help Indian students to interact with foreign faculty
and exchange ideas. We cannot restrict knowledge," he said.
