Dear Goenkars, The Knowledge Commission has been recently constituted by the Government of Goa to prepare a Vision Document on education in Goa. Education has long since been a topic for hot debate and quite a few of us have found ourselves mulling over questions like, why are so many thousands of Goans unemployed or under-employed? Why do Goans lag behind in competitive exams? Why can't education in Goa be more job oriented? Why does Goa have so few opportunities such that all our bright students leave the state for foreign shores? etc. Quite a few of us have our own personal analysis and some answers too! The Goa Knowledge Commission hopes to take a critical look at education for its employment generating capacity. It wants to do this not without enlisting your thoughts, opinions, suggestions and ideas. For this it has set up a website www.knowledgeforgoa.com We know that you have often wished that policy formulators have a more democratic approach. We know you have often wished for a forum to express your thoughts. Here is your chance. Visit the bulletin board of the Knowledge Commission and post your inputs. We assure you your thoughts matter. With warm regards Professor Peter R. deSouza ---------------------------------------------- DELHI:Professor Peter R. deSouza, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, 29 Rajpur Road, New Delhi 110 054 Tel: 11-23831290 Telefax: 011- 23891012 GOA:Dr Celsa Pinto, Member Secretary, Directorate of Education, 18 June Road, Panjim, Goa 403 001 Tel: (0832) 2223237 Fax: (0832) 2227874 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: www.knowledgeforgoa.com ----------------------------------------- ================================================= GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE Documentation + Education + Solidarity 11 Liberty Apts., Feira Alta, Mapusa, Goa 403 507 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.goadesc.org ------------------------------------------------- Working On Issues Of Development & Democracy =================================================
