The HRD Ministry has sought ideas from private sector for redifining pre-school education in the country, a top official said today.
"The government or private sector alone cannot solve the humongous task of redefining the pre-school education system in India. The volume or size can come from government, but quality will come from the private sector," HRD's School Education Secretary Anil Swarup said.
He was speaking at the conference 'Re-imagining Pre-school Education' organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
"Today, one of the most challenging task in pre-school education is the lack of trained teachers. Those from private sector to submit, should submit ideas to government with a focused approach," he said.
"The idea has to be politically acceptable, socially desirable, technologically feasible, financially viable and administratively doable," Swarup added.
