Thiruvananthapuram: A two-member team of top officials of the state education
department left for Brazil Saturday to explore possibilities of
collaboration between Kerala and the south American country in the
education sector by recruiting about 500 teachers from here.
The team comprising M. Sivasankar, secretary, general education
department and K. Anvar Sadath, executive director of IT@School
Project left for Brazil via Dubai.
They were invited by Mauricio Rands, secretary of government,
State of Pernambuco and elected member of the Brazilian National
Parliament.
"This is in continuation of the visit of Robert Viana Batista, an
entrepreneur and philanthropist from Brazil to Kerala last month.
During his visit, he had informed that the Brazil government is
striving to bring up the educational standards in municipal
schools in Brazil for which they are planning to recruit Indian
teachers with Post Graduation in Science, preferably B.Ed to teach
Brazilian children," said Sivasankar.
This project would be financed by the Brazilian government with
the support of international developmental agencies like Unesco.
"For that, they require academic support for the programme from
the General Education Department, especially from the IT@School
Project. The process of identifying B.Ed graduates either through
campus placement mode or through direct recruitment has to be
co-ordinated by the Higher Education Department," said Sadath.
In his letter to the officials here, Rands mentioned that the
Brazilian federal government will also be part of this project as
well as the municipalities where the pilot phase will take place.
"He also mentioned that their immediate need is to bring 100 B.Ed
graduates by the end of this coming June and another 400 by the
end of this coming December to Brazil," added Sadath.
The two-member team will visit a few schools in Brazil and also
meet up with educational experts there.
