New Delhi: The
government will try to pass pending education bills soon to
develop a proper education system in the country, V. Narayanasamy,
Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions in
the Prime Minister Office (PMO) said Monday.
"In parliament, we are trying to pass three, four important
education bills so that a proper education system is developed in
the country," Narayanasamy said at the 27th Foundation Day of the
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).
The Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation of Entry and
Operations) Bill, which aims to regulate entry and operation of
foreign educational institutions in India, is still pending in the
parliament.
In addition, the Education Tribunal Bill, which seeks to create
separate tribunals for handling cases related to educational
institutions, is also pending. The bill was passed by the Lok
Sabha in August 2010.
The winter session of parliament begins Nov 22.
The minister said that a lot of reforms have been brought in the
education system and that the country needed world class
universities especially for the rural people offering affordable
education which would also tackle the problem of brain drain.
"Three to four lakh Indian students are helping countries like
America. When we develop our own universities, we prevent our
students from going abroad," he said.
"A total of 65 percent of the country's population is youth and
that is an important potential," Narayanasamy added.
Established in 1985, IGNOU was set up to provide cost-effective
education, especially to the poor.
