SPEAKING
OUT
| It is sometimes felt
that education does not enjoy the kind of respect that it
should in a developing society like India. The political
class, in particular, seems ignorant of its necessity in the
governance of this country. Today, even as the political class
talks of overcoming illiteracy as the first step to rooting
out poverty and increasing the pace of development in the
country, they have shied away from fixing certain basic
educational qualification for the political representatives. |
