New Delhi:
Universities and schools in the country should impart the
knowledge of special skills and create cadres of well-trained
students who will be part of the global human resource, former
president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said Saturday.
Speaking at the World Education Summit organised by the Indira
Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), Kalam said the education
system should create two cadres of students to build a global
human resource.
"First is the global cadre of skilled youth, spreading knowledge
of special skills and the second is the global cadre of youth in
higher education with expertise which covers not only the service
sector of India but also the skilled human resource globally for
employment perfection," he said.
"These two cadres will not only cover the manufacturing and
service sectors in India but will also train the human resources
globally," he added.
Kalam also emphasised upon the moral conduct of students and said
that they should know how to take calculated risks, but with
righteousness.
"Moral leadership requires capability and disposition to do right
things. In all schools and colleges, this is essential for
capacity building. All schools should introduce a moral science
class in their curriculum," he said.
Talking about skill development, Kalam said that the education
system should aim to create employment generators rather than
employment seekers.
He further said that private education was a very creative
ingredient and must be fostered.
