The credit equivalent transfer system can be availed by all those working professionals who had to take up jobs while quitting their education midway.
Of late, the country has seen a couple of changes in the educational reforms.
Only recently while conferring a speech at the Indian Economic Summit organized by Geneva-based World Economic Forum, and the Indian Industry Chamber CII, the HRD Minister Smriti Irani announced the launch of a credit-equivalent transfer system, by the end of this month, for those working professionals who had to leave their jobs midway to proceed to education.
The credit equivalent transfer system can be availed by all those working professionals who had to take up jobs while quitting their education midway.
The programme will offer subjects from standard 9th and by next year might reach up to offering PhD programmes as well. The Central universities have been advised to practice a flawless credit system throughout the country, for the success of this programme.
The move has been taken into account considering the educational qualifications of capable candidates, who are unable to bag a good-profile job because of their academic inabilities.
Looking at the recent changes and updations in the education system, one can say that the HRD Ministry wishes to leave no stone unturned to make the education system better in India.
Initiatives like launching of a new teachers’ training programme, starting placement cells in every university, the common man’s suggestions on implementation of new education policy, etc. are good enough to be taken into account for the betterment of the education system.
“We are trying to do everything right. We are coming with new education policy next year. We are trying to course correct between school education and higher education,” said Irani. The MOOCs help the government to reach out to a big crowd of students. Also, starting this year, November,11th will be observed as Education Day in the country.
