The State Councils for Educational Research and Training (SCERTs) should be made an integral part of the university system in India and need to have comparable faculty positions and academic activities, a national seminar on ‘Curricula Reforms in School Education,' which concluded here on Friday, has resolved.
Representatives of the councils from 18 States took part in the three-day seminar. The SCERTs should also have close academic links with university professors who work in various aspects of education across disciplines. Mere revisions in textbooks would not lead to any meaningful reforms in the school education system.
Emphasis has to be placed on reforming the teacher-education processes and those relating to evaluation.
