Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi has expressed concerns about the state’s school syllabus, deeming it outdated and lacking in competitiveness. Speaking at the centenary celebrations of KTCT aided primary school and KTCT girls higher secondary school in Chennai, he highlighted the need for students to broaden their horizons beyond the confines of the current syllabus. He emphasized the importance of fostering a competitive spirit and preparing students for the challenges of the globalized world.
Governor Ravi further emphasized the vital role of women in shaping the future of India. He lauded the dedication of the KTCT institution to empowering girls, recognizing the power and potential of women in society. He stressed that there is no reason why women cannot be the backbone of the nation, playing key roles in leadership and development.
The governor’s remarks come at a time when India is increasingly focused on the role of women in its growth and progress. His statement about ‘nari sakthi,’ the power of women, underscores the need for greater gender equality and female empowerment, particularly in the context of India celebrating its 75th year of independence. He believes that women must be at the forefront of the nation’s development as it approaches its 100th year of independence.
Governor Ravi’s call for a more modern and competitive school syllabus aligns with the broader national conversation about education reform in India. The emphasis on going beyond the syllabus and preparing students for the challenges of the 21st century is a key theme in educational discussions across the country. His advocacy for women’s empowerment also resonates with the growing push for gender equality and women’s leadership in India.
