The introduction of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) system of education and its syllabus will bring about a “revolution in education” in the Union Territory’s current education system scenario, said Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday.
Speaking to reporters after inspecting a Government Higher Secondary school here to ascertain the infrastructure and other requirements for students, she said the pupils had apprised her of the facilities they needed to pursue their education.
The L-G said students clearing their exams from government schools and intending to do professional courses should be granted a special quota in their undergraduate studies. “Tamil would be offered without any hiccups once CBSE pattern of syllabus gets introduced in Puducherry,” Soundararajan, who is also the Governor of Telangana, said.
At present, the schools in Puducherry and Karaikal regions are following the curriculum prescribed by the State Board.
The L-G reviewed the situation prevailing in government schools and appreciated the representations students, particularly girls, had made to her during her visit.
She also directed officers to ensure that buildings were available to schools as lack of infrastructure would be a major handicap for their pursuit of good education.
Director of School Education P Priyadharshini, Joint Director of Education V G Sivagami and officials of PWD and Directorate of School Education accompanied the L-G during her visit to a couple of schools in the Union Territory..
