Dear Agnelo et al,
On the topic of education and schooling, I would like to draw your kind
attention to the Goa Su-Raj Party's ROAD MAP FOR GOA Chapter IX -EDUCATION
which is available at www.goasu-raj.org for download.
Presently, there is a hue and cry from parents re 'full day school' as well
as extending primary schooling (in Konkani) upto 8 th. standard and to upto
10th standard there from. This is going to be a DISASTER FOR GOA AND GOANS.
Better, this rascal government with a literal UNPAD as its EDUCATION
MINISTER, should be rendered amputated from all ends.
I strongly believe that GRA will do it.
Cheers

Subject: [Goanet] Full day school in Goa, makes sense?
What the current generation need is quality education (not quantity) to face
challenges of the future. Our schools (more so at village level) must be
upgraded with better science labs, play grounds, libraries etc. The mad
rush of sending to school to town will automatically be reduced. This will
translate in less people on road and more energy to kids and parents, less
traffic in towns, less air pollution etc. In young lives besides good
education, good physical and mental recreation is equally important. Do not
rob the childhood of future generation by focusing on academic education
only. All round development of the mind and body is important and full day
school will rob the childhood of our children's. Change of curriculum and
infrastructure in school demand urgent attention than change in school
timing. After full day school, what next 24 hours school?
