Educational Sorpotel in Cozinha de Goa
Carmo D'Souza
We notice a typical preparation of Sorpotel in Goa's Educational field.
In fact, my association with education has convinced me that we never
had holistic vision for Education in Goa after Liberation. It has
always been a piece meal approach. It is written by somebody that
Sorpotel was made for slaves and servants and every discarded part of
the pig found a place in that delicious dish. Thus somebody threw parts
of ears, some other of legs, another intestines and stomach and yet
another cracked the skull into two and threw it into the connotation.
Thus educational policy of Goa especially with reference to primary
education has been a preparation at random. The principals,
educationalist, Archdioceses, government, Political parties have thrown
since Liberation their so termed "intelligent contribution" to create
that mess. Some quoted lofty ideas from Tagore and UNESCO without
comprehending their application. That it has worked so far is only
because of God gave intrinsic survival qualities to Goan Society. Should
we stretch them further. I on my part say Mea Culpa. I wish some
students would sue all the respective stake holders for the mess
they have created for them. Even today Goa has no Educational vision. At
least now will they carry critical reseach before opening their mouths.
