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
matters.
