Educationalists Oppose Karnataka Move

“SIEMAT in private partnership in education dangerous”

Bangalore: The proposal to set up the State Institute of Educational Management and Training (SIEMAT) In Karnataka in partnership with Azim Premji Fundation has been opposed by several educationalists and intellectuals, including Jnaipth Award winner U.R. Ananthamurthy and former Planning Commission member L.C. Jain.

They termed it a “dangerous” sign of the Government relinquishing the core responsibility of policy framing in the area of education in the name of public-private partnership.

Mr. Jain told presspersons that education was a constitutional commitment involving every child’s future and this obligation of the State could not be minimized. He called upon the people to be “absolutely vigilant” about this fundamental right.
