INTRODUCTION1:01The foundation of education and its growth in Mizoram started with the advent of C hristia nity in the year 1894. According to Pr of. Siamkima Khawlhring, a makeshift school with two pupils was started at Aizawl by two Missionaries on the 1st April, 1894, barely 80 days after reaching Mizoram. The achievements of Missionaries in Mizoram in the spr eading of the Gospel on one hand and the works of the Missionaries in the field of establishment and development of education in the other hand cannot be sepa rated. Starting right from introducingRoman scriptand making a lphabets for the Mizo people, the uphill task of education has been most successful that Mizoram has distinguished itself by occupying the position of second most literate State in India by the late twentieth century, being second only to Ker ala. 1:02Depr ived of almost all aspects of economic development because of its geogra phical limitations, coupled with the virtual stoppage of all forms of development a ctivities for a long twenty years, since 1966 when Mizoram (then one of the Distr icts under Assam State) was submerged into the turmoil of grave political disturbance which veer ed towards tota l insurgency, with peace retur ning fina lly only in 1986 with the historic signing of peace accord. It is, therefor e, a ha rd fact that Mizoram, after having lost twenty valuable years, could actually begin rather late in the la ter par t of the twentieth century, to really embark upon developments to catch up with the rest of the country. 1:03Mizoram has produced a good number of educated people, some of whom have served in the All India Services and Central Civil Services, and other educated people getting employments under the Government, which delivers the demonstration effects on the Mizo people that education continues to be an investment with the highest possible dividends. It is fortunate tha t the Mizo people strongly believe in the transforming power of education. 1:04With market demands in the past decades of the late twentieth century more simple almost all educated people, having matriculation a nd above qualifications could easily secure employment - 2 - Ex-146/2013 under the Government. It is somewhat ironic to notice that in contrast to the prevailing unemployment toda y, barely twenty years ago, students pursuing medical and engineering courses were required to sign an undertaking tha t they would compulsor ily wor k under the Government for at least five year s failing which they would be required to refund the scholar ships for their study. Now, things have greatly hanged and there ar e today educated people, including bachelor -degree holder s in engineering, who remain unemployed, according to the live register with the Labour and Employment Depa rtment in Mizor am wile some work in private schools as teachers earning barely 20% of what Engineers in the Government Departments earn. 1:05It is a fact that t here ar e no industrial units capable of employing a large number of skilled, educated and even unskilled people in Mizoram, and that the Government has continued to be the sole employer till today. Want of industrial establishments, paucity of employment in private sectors underline the need to reform the education system so as to make education more employment-oriented in the State. 1:06Therefore, education needs to come to the rescue. Realizing that educating the people in the right way is the need of the hour, the Congress Ministry in Mizoram, immediately on assuming charge of the Gover nment, constit uted t heMIZORAM EDUCATION REFORMS COMMISSIONto addr ess the prob lem. 1:07Fortunately and timely for the State, the constitution ofMizoram Education Commission coincides wit h the enactment ofThe Right Of Children To Free And Compulsory Education Act, 2009. Therefore, strictly in line with the recommendations ofThe Mizoram Education Reforms Commission, the Government of Mizor am begins to embark upon its journey to reform education. Ever convinced and feeling confident tha t the people of t his Sta te who ar e lar gely literate can excel in educa tion, a nd with one of the best climates in the world and peace reigning supr eme in the society as the necessary a ssets, the Government has for mulated and announced this EDUCATION POLICY. 2. LEGAL OBLIGATION2:01Education is a subject under the ‘Concurrent List’ (List III) of the Constitution of India and therefore, State Governments are competent to make legislation on educa tion, subject to the condition that the legislation of the Centra l Government shall pr evail over the legislation of the State Government in the event of a conflict between the States and the Central Government on any matter concerning education. Article 21A of the Constitution also mandates that fr ee and compulsory education has to be provided to all children from the age of six years to the age of 14 years. Further, Article 45 of the Constitution provides that the Sta te shall endeavour to provide early childhood care a nd educa tion to t he children below the age of six years. 2:02Moreover, with the implementation of theRight Of Children To Free and Compulsory Education Act,2009effective fr om 1st Apr il, 2010, ever y State Government is legally bound to provide free and compulsor y educa tion to all children between the age of 6 and 14 years. 2:03 TheEducation Reforms Commission ofMizoram, set up t o recommend ways and means to raise the standards and improve quality in all sectors of education submitted its R eport in July, 2010 which was a ccepted by the State Government‘in principle.’ To implement the recommendations, the State Government ha s made elabor ate arr angements by forming Task Forces and Committees to address the problems enumerated by theEducation Reforms Commission. 3. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES3.01One of the biggest challenges confronting Mizoram is to reform the prevailing and existing education system to conform to the requir ement of the present da y problems. Educa tion reforms need to addr ess diverse pr oblems of unemployment, degra dation of the environment, violence, milit ancy and insurgency the wor ld over. Therefore, the focus of educa tion r eforms would be to impa rt education in such a manner that each student would - @ find employment in Public/Private sector or be a ble to have self-employment through skill development he so acquires; @ become a responsible, hard-working, honest, just and understanding citizen; @ appr eciate the int rinsic values of huma nities, importance of conservation of the environment and natural resources,flora and fauna, ma intena nce of preserva tion of la w, order a nd peace in the world; @ be imbued with a life-long desire and hunger to learn:- a fter he leaves School, College and University, and even after he has settled down in is car eer. @ be equipped withlife skills to face the challenges he encounters in his everyday-life and also the challenges of the world at la rge. TO ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES:-The Government of Mizoram has decided to stress and emphasize the importance of - Firstand foremost, communication skills . Human being is endowed with the gift of speech and with education a nd guidance he then learns to read and writ e. Communication skills, in speech and writing, cont inue to occupy top prior ity for meaningful educa tion. One must start one’s educa tion in his mother tongue/ home language which is the language he best understands. It is of paramount importance that a child learns English since the world has virtually become a global village with English as a favour ed means for communication whereby competency and fluency in the English language have become essential t oday. As India ns, we must be able to effectively communicate in Hindi wit h our brethren Indian citizens for which study of Hindi occupies a predominant position in education. Therefore, ability to speak and communicate in Hindi right from elementary education stage is considered important. SecondScience, Mathematics and Technology. Students must provide the necessary skills to his employer, whether at home or abroad. Science, Mathematics and Technology occupy an important place in education at present a s compa red to the situation pr evailing earlier when one could find employment in almost any line after graduation without any essential requirement for specialisation in any of the subjects mentioned. Voca tiona l education, where further development of skills beyond class-room study, is predicated upon, requires the study and deeper knowledge of Science, Mathematics and Technology. Thirdhigher sense of social and moral va lues in education.National Policy On Education (NPE), 1986 has observed as follows - “The growing concern over the erosion of essential values and an increasing cynicism in society has brought to focus the need for readjustment in the curriculum in order to make education a forceful tool for the cultivation of social and moral values.”- 3 -Ex-146/2013 This is not the first time that concern has been expressed about the decline in the standards of moral and social life of the people and attention dra wn to the role of educa tion in fostering a sens e of va lues. Severa l Committees and Commissions on Educa tion that have delib era ted on different aspects of our education ever since we became a free nation, have pointed to the need for value education. Now with increased means of swifter communica tion and ever increasing needs of huma n beings, maintenance of social and moral values has become more relevant than ever before in the history of man. Considera tion for what is right and what is wrong plays a very important role in today’s life. One’s life and achievements are not mea sured only on tangible and physical achievements, but on what one has stood for in the society, in life and in death. One of t he gui di ng pr i nci pl es of NATIONAL CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK (NCF), 2005 is enriching the curriculum to pr ovide for overall development of children ra ther than remain textbook-centr ic thus stress ing on making children sensitive to the environment as important curricular concern. Pr eservation of the beauty of nature, and its protection from degradation, sharing in a world-wide concern and of its necessity, is another thrust point. A good educa tion is , in essence, a process of developing the human personality in all its dimensions - intellectual, physical, social, moral and spirit ual. But for a variety of r easons, the effective dimension of personality has in recent times been seriously neglected in our education. Education today has almost degenerated int o a process of informa tion-tra nsmission, acqu ired through rote learning with its sole objective being passing of examinations. Education should not be a process whereby it ha s been transfor med into a system where a man knows a screwdriver and a hammer, but does not know what to do with them. Therefore, when we speak of value education, the development of social, mor al, aest hetic a nd spir itual aspects of man’s personality are all ta ken into account. Fourthdevelopment of aest hetic sense in life. Aesthetic sense, an ability to appreciate and understand the beauty of nature and art, needs to be developed for: @ preservation of the environment; @ development and preservation of art and culture @ development of the three faculties of personality - (i) knowing, (ii) feeling, (iii) doing; @ developing love and appreciation for art and artistic p ursuits in diverse and different aspects; @ developing love and desira ble attitudes t owards nature, art and natura l resou rces @ instilling the impor tance of maintaining moral standard right from the early formative year s of children is importa nt in today’s fa st dwindling morality in he world. @ addressing the importance and compulsion to prevent dangers and damage to ear th planet by our senseless a nd greedy act ions. The global warming resu lting in snow storms and eve incr easing ice melting, r aising the levels of sea to swallow more and more areas of isla nds, seen in the Television as a sort of entertainment, is a stark realit y that human existence on this planet is in r eal danger. Economic pursuits without consideration for environment also pose a risk to humanity. T herefor e, students fr om their early age should be sensitised on this and be made to understand and contribute in every little possible wa y they can.- 4 - Ex-146/2013 Aesthetic sense can be cultivated and nurtured through - (i) Poetry - which dea ls with the beauty and abunda nce of nature and life, in a ll its magnificent forms; (ii) Less ons in Language Classes - which dea l with human na ture, life and art in its va ried forms; (iii) Lessons in Environmental Studies; (iv) Art Education that includes drawing, painting, sculpting, music, dance, drama and theatre THE MIZORAM EDUCATION POLICY Taking all the above in consideration, the State Government of Mizoram has formulated the following 10 (ten) p oints asMIZORAM EDUCATION POLICYwhich it will try to implement and achieve with its available resources:- ONE:REORGANISATION AND REVAMP OF EDUCATION DEPARTMENT: Some changes and reorganisa tions have taken place in education since Mizoram had its first government continuing till today. Some of these changes have indeed contributed towards achieving positive results in the State. But it is a fact tha t more improvements in the system within the organisation are needed. Services in the Education Department have to be re- orga nised to have efficient and smooth administration within the or ganisation. Monitor ing and Supervision of educational institutions, being an essentia l part of education, has to be re-inforced by adopting better system of inspection/supervision/monitoring and equipping the inspecting officer with the required inputs. Better methods of r ecr uitment of t eachers, teacher educa tion and t eacher tra ining a nd evolving meaningful and effective system of service delivery in the Department to be addressed. It is required for the State to improve the position, status and social standing of teachers, which all contribute to making the teaching profession noble and dignified. Service rules and conditions of s ervice of teachers and non-t eaching facult y need to be reviewed, and suitably changed to make services in education enviable to attract the best talents. The service conditions of t hose serving under the Education Department, such as the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT ), Mizoram Boa rd of S chool Education (MBSE) and Institutions like the Institute of Advanced Study in Education (IASE), College of Teacher Education (CTE), District Institute of Teacher Education (DIET), District Resource Centre (DRC), Mizoram Hindi Training College, Polytechnics and Law College need to be reviewed and improved to suit the cha nged circumstances of the twenty-fir st century. TWO:UNIVERSALISATION OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION: Since our independence in 1947, Universalisation of Elementary Education (UEE) has cont inued to be a priority of the Government of India. With the enactment of theRight Of Children To Free And Compulsory Education Act, 2009,it has become a fundamental right of every child aged 6 to 14 years to be provided fr ee and compulsory education by the Government. The contributions fr om the Central Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in setting the sta ge for UEE thr ough immense input of the Sa rva Shiksha Abhyan (SSA), have not only helped in realisation of UEE but also contributed in ra ising t he literacy percentage of the St ate.- 5 -Ex-146/2013 By school mapping and identifying the gap and providing schools and the necessary accompanying paraphernalia, Mizoram State is poised to become an exemplar of excellence in the country through contributions of t he loca l community, local elected representa tives, Non- Governmental Organisations like Young Mizo Association (YMA) and Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP). THREE: LEARNING WITH UNDERSTANDING AND COMPREHENSION: The MizoramEducation Reforms Commission reiterates the importance of learning with understanding and comprehension and doing away with rote learning. When a child learns by rote learning, the retention of what he learns matters only for a limited period of time and does not really contribute towards understanding of what he has learnt thereby having no real impa ct on his further studies. To do a way with the system of r ote learningLearning outcomeswill be identified to ensure that objectives of learning are fulfilled. Steps will fur ther be taken to p romot e overall understa nding a nd competency of lear ning objectives through aChild-centred approachfocusing on the needs of the child with activity- based learning at the primary stage. Any learning system needs support of an equally sound system of evaluation and Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE),in place now in Mizoram, for two years, following t he enactment of the RTE Act and the timely recommendation of theEducation Reforms Commission, has substantially improved the level of learning in elementary education. Similarly, in the College level, S emester System has been introduced and has b egun to show positive results and the Semester System, being the sister-system of CCE, would soon be intr oduced in secondary level. The medium through which the Curriculum is transacted becomes vital to promote comprehensive learning and understanding. Taking into account t he conviction t hat a child lear ns best when he understands what he learns the fir st choice for medium of instr uction will undoubtedly be theHome language/ Mother tongue/First language of the child at the first years of schooling. But importance of English for communication and for the purpose of quality education at the secondar y and tertiary levels cannot be minimized or over-emphasized. Lear ning in one’s mother-tongue at Primary level of elementa ry education and in English from the upper primary, seconda ry and tertiar y levels would enhance the quality of educa tion in the State. FOUR:VOCATIONAL EDUCATION (SKILL DEVELOPMENT): At present, almost all the schools in t he entir e State offer only general education with only a small percentage of students at secondary and College levels are pursuing vocational education. It is, therefore, no wonder that a large percentage of students are consigned to abandon fur ther studies and remain unemployed. Therefore, vocational education needs to be int roduced from Class IX as a sepa rate stream of study for students t o pursue their chosen field of study to cater to their different interests and aptitudes in addition to what is presently available in Industrial Training Institutes (ITI), Polytechnics and Vocational Education offered in a few Schools. The Ministry of Huma n Resource Development ha s come up wit h a compr ehensive scheme calledNational Vocational Education Qualification Framework (NVEQF) which has a ten-stage of vocational education study beginning from Class IX cont inuing right up to the top level wher e one gets a Doctorate Degree. Therefore in order to implement this program proper linkage between School Education, Higher and Technical Education and Univer sity- 6 - Ex-146/2013 needs to be established. T he State needs to veer towards Vocational Education where skill development is part and pa rcel of the courses. It is the avowed determination of the State Government of Mizor am to enhance the employability of its youth for jobs in t he domestic markets and abroad. Some Colleges in the State where only general education is taught would need to be converted to Community Colleges utilizing the infra structure of the no longer viable Colleges in the St ate. FIVE:HIGHER STUDIES AND PROFESSIONAL COURSES: The number of existing Institutions offering higher education and p rofessional courses is grossly inadequa te. The two Universities of the State, namelyMizoram University (Central Government) andInstitute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI), a private university established by a State legislation are inadequate for the State. The State is yet to have a Medical College, an Engineering College or even an Agricultural College.The National Institute of Technology (NIT),recently set up at Lengpui, is one of our va lued educational institutions. The Government of Mizoram is awar e of the needs of the youths not only for the state of Mizoram but also for the entire nation in providing tra ining of the youths to meet the needs of industries and technology within and outside the state. In order to achieve this goal, the government is placing more emphasis on vocational trainings. The government is also embarking on bringing experts in this field. The government will legislate mor e private universities who are willing to impart such training as to increase employability of Mizo youths in and outside Mizoram who will be able to face challenges with their knowledge anywher e in the world. The Government of India also sanctioned two (2) Community Colleges to be established in Mizoram recently. T he courses offered in this Community Colleges will also prepare the youths in getting themselves employment and self reliant. Participation of private entities in the Educational System of the country is the need of the hour. The government is therefore, very much a ware of the situation. The government welcomed private entities t o participate in the Educational System of M izoram not as a commercial venture but as a philanthropic and educator. The State Government is working on regulation as to how the priva te schools and colleges funct ions in compliance with the Right to Education Act. (RTE.) The percentage of Mizoram students pursuing higher and professional education needs to be greatly increased to cope with the prevailing unemployment. To achieve this, it is the intention of the State Government to provide opportunities in the College thereby encouraging the students to study Science, Mathematics and Technology subjects for better prospects. SIX:INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: The world is full of unexpected surprises, some of them good and some not s o good. The Central Government has enacted a number of legislations to ensure that physically challenged persons, who are differently abled, get their due place. It is the solemn affirma tion of the Mizoram State Government to provide maximum oppor tunities to the people with special needs in matters of educa tion, jobs and private enterprises. It is unfor tunate that even in the most advanced countr ies, the general attit ude towards people with disabilities r emain the same as in the earlier ages and they are still considered not as equals. It is the intention and policy of the State Government of Mizoram to give efforts to affording equal opportunities to the people with special needs, and strictly implementing statutory provisions of legislations to benefit them.- 7 -Ex-146/2013 SEVEN: TEACHERS’ WELFARE AND TEACHER EDUCATION: Happy in their status and satisfied in their career as teachers are good teachers. Cor rect and differential tr eatment of teachers by the Government and by public make ideal teachers. Their service conditions, their welfare and future pr ospects all combine to create the r ight ingr edients for good teachers. Good teachers give bir th to good students, good students give birth to good nations. Therefore, the Government of Mizoram is committed towar ds improving the service conditions and affording teachers their rightful place in their career a nd society. Good academicians and excellent qualifications do not necess arily make good teachers. New techniques a nd methods in teaching to reach the understa nding levels of the students through appropriate and suitable trainings are needed to make good t eachers. To achieve this, the State Government is determined to make efforts in improving the service conditions of the teachers and providing Teacher Education Institutions for them. EIGHT: STRONG CULTURAL ROOTS AND MORAL VALUES:The old saying - “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; But when character is lost, everything is lost” still holds true today, and it is likely to be more so in the future. Therefore, classroom and out of classroom teachings in education need to be more comprehensive and relate to all-round development of the students. It is paramountly important to instill moral va lues to children in their formative years and even later in life. In this tur bulent and fast-life civilization, the younger generation has to be nourished with cult ural and moral values that ha ve stood the test of time. Lessons in textbooks should also be so designed to sha pe corr ect mor al behaviour a nd life attitudes. School students in Japan a re taught to clean their cla ss rooms and the school premises. Similarly, the Mizo people, used to har d work, from da ys immemorial, are never known to shirk work at any period in recent history. They happily work in community as members of Young Mizo Associa tion (YMA) and some Church and community Associations. Therefore, work and labour continue to be an integral part of Mizo community. Dignity of labour, however highly placed one may be in society, is what is intended to be embedded in the schools and colleges at all levels from Pre-Prima ry to University. Education, is an effective means of improving society, beca use education not only provides, but it is also a major contributor towards upr ightness in society and promoting peace at a ll levels. T he sayings of these two famous people abunda ntly manifest the importance of education for the people and the country- Victor Hugo - “He who opens a school door, closes a prison” Henry Peter, Lord Brougham- “Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave”- 8 - Ex-146/2013 NINE:PRIVATISATION IN EDUCATION: For two or three centuries, the world witnessed a scenario where the Sta te has been burdened with its sacred duty to deliver education to its people. It is on this context that President Franklin D. Roosevelt of USA aid,“The school is the last expenditure on which America should be willing to economize.” Education still continues to be one of the important obligations of State, not only in India, but throughout the world at la rge. In spite of the State’s obligation to provide education to its people, privatisation of education from the lowest to the highest level has been found to b e in vogue, not only in India but also in other parts of the world. There are a good number of reasons privatised education fares better than education provided under government control. One of the reigning factors responsible for this is evidently that private educationa l institutions have t o compete with one another to attract students as they are commercial institutions. Therefore, it is the avowed intention of the Mizoram State Government to encourage private educational institutions from the State as well as from outside the state. At the same time, healthy competition should also be encouraged amongst the State- run educational institutions and there should a lso be healthy competition between them and the privately-run educational institutions. TEN:EMPOWERMENT OF COMMUNITY: A new English word‘communitisation’ has been coined in Nagala nd recently to describe a system of community empowerment in improvement of public utilities, such as pr imary school education, water supply and village health care by directly involving the community in the day to day activities of the public service utilities. As evidently true from the oft saying that “Government does not have all the answers”there are areas where the community can mana ge much better than the government because the community is the stake-holder in the affa irs. This is one reason why decentralisation, depending dir ectly on the local people, for its successful execution of works and progr ammes, has continued to be the favourite in efficient administration and development. It is, therefor e, the endeavour of Mizoram State to encourage empowerment of community in education. CONCLUSIONThe Government of Mizoram, having formulated the aboveEDUCATION POLICY,is committed to take all necess ary steps to execute a nd implement the above given point s to achieve the targets in the best interest and benefits of the people of Mizoram.

Want of industrial establishments, paucity of employment in private sectors underline the need to reform the education system so as to make education more employment-oriented in the State. 1:06Therefore, education needs to come to the rescue. Realizing that educating the people in the right way is the need of the hour, the Congress Ministry in Mizoram, immediately on assuming charge of the Gover nment, constit uted t heMIZORAM EDUCATION REFORMS COMMISSIONto addr ess the prob lem. 1:07Fortunately and timely for the State, the constitution ofMizoram Education Commission coincides wit h the enactment ofThe Right Of Children To Free And Compulsory Education Act, 2009. Therefore, strictly in line with the recommendations ofThe Mizoram Education Reforms Commission, the Government of Mizor am begins to embark upon its journey to reform education. Ever convinced and feeling confident tha t the people of t his Sta te who ar e lar gely literate can excel in educa tion, a nd with one of the best climates in the world and peace reigning supr eme in the society as the necessary a ssets, the Government has for mulated and announced this EDUCATION POLICY. 2. LEGAL OBLIGATION2:01Education is a subject under the ‘Concurrent List’ (List III) of the Constitution of India and therefore, State Governments are competent to make legislation on educa tion, subject to the condition that the legislation of the Centra l Government shall pr evail over the legislation of the State Government in the event of a conflict between the States and the Central Government on any matter concerning education. Article 21A of the Constitution also mandates that fr ee and compulsory education has to be provided to all children from the age of six years to the age of 14 years. Further, Article 45 of the Constitution provides that the Sta te shall endeavour to provide early childhood care a nd educa tion to t he children below the age of six years. 2:02Moreover, with the implementation of theRight Of Children To Free and Compulsory Education Act,2009effective fr om 1st Apr il, 2010, ever y State Government is legally bound to provide free and compulsor y educa tion to all children between the age of 6 and 14 years. 2:03 TheEducation Reforms Commission ofMizoram, set up t o recommend ways and means to raise the standards and improve quality in all sectors of education submitted its R eport in July, 2010 which was a ccepted by the State Government‘in principle.’ To implement the recommendations, the State Government ha s made elabor ate arr angements by forming Task Forces and Committees to address the problems enumerated by theEducation Reforms Commission. 3. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES3.01One of the biggest challenges confronting Mizoram is to reform the prevailing and existing education system to conform to the requir ement of the present da y problems. Educa tion reforms need to addr ess diverse pr oblems of unemployment, degra dation of the environment, violence, milit ancy and insurgency the wor ld over. Therefore, the focus of educa tion r eforms would be to impa rt education in such a manner that each student would - @ find employment in Public/Private sector or be a ble to have self-employment through skill development he so acquires; @ become a responsible, hard-working, honest, just and understanding citizen; @ appr eciate the int rinsic values of huma nities, importance of conservation of the environment and natural resources,flora and fauna, ma intena nce of preserva tion of la w, order a nd peace in the world; @ be imbued with a life-long desire and hunger to learn:- a fter he leaves School, College and University, and even after he has settled down in is car eer. @ be equipped withlife skills to face the challenges he encounters in his everyday-life and also the challenges of the world at la rge. TO ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES:-The Government of Mizoram has decided to stress and emphasize the importance of - Firstand foremost, communication skills . Human being is endowed with the gift of speech and with education a nd guidance he then learns to read and writ e. Communication skills, in speech and writing, cont inue to occupy top prior ity for meaningful educa tion. One must start one’s educa tion in his mother tongue/ home language which is the language he best understands. It is of paramount importance that a child learns English since the world has virtually become a global village with English as a favour ed means for communication whereby competency and fluency in the English language have become essential t oday. As India ns, we must be able to effectively communicate in Hindi wit h our brethren Indian citizens for which study of Hindi occupies a predominant position in education. Therefore, ability to speak and communicate in Hindi right from elementary education stage is considered important. SecondScience, Mathematics and Technology. Students must provide the necessary skills to his employer, whether at home or abroad. Science, Mathematics and Technology occupy an important place in education at present a s compa red to the situation pr evailing earlier when one could find employment in almost any line after graduation without any essential requirement for specialisation in any of the subjects mentioned. Voca tiona l education, where further development of skills beyond class-room study, is predicated upon, requires the study and deeper knowledge of Science, Mathematics and Technology. Thirdhigher sense of social and moral va lues in education.National Policy On Education (NPE), 1986 has observed as follows - “The growing concern over the erosion of essential values and an increasing cynicism in society has brought to focus the need for readjustment in the curriculum in order to make education a forceful tool for the cultivation of social and moral values.”- 3 -Ex-146/2013 This is not the first time that concern has been expressed about the decline in the standards of moral and social life of the people and attention dra wn to the role of educa tion in fostering a sens e of va lues. Severa l Committees and Commissions on Educa tion that have delib era ted on different aspects of our education ever since we became a free nation, have pointed to the need for value education. Now with increased means of swifter communica tion and ever increasing needs of huma n beings, maintenance of social and moral values has become more relevant than ever before in the history of man. Considera tion for what is right and what is wrong plays a very important role in today’s life. One’s life and achievements are not mea sured only on tangible and physical achievements, but on what one has stood for in the society, in life and in death. One of t he gui di ng pr i nci pl es of NATIONAL CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK (NCF), 2005 is enriching the curriculum to pr ovide for overall development of children ra ther than remain textbook-centr ic thus stress ing on making children sensitive to the environment as important curricular concern. Pr eservation of the beauty of nature, and its protection from degradation, sharing in a world-wide concern and of its necessity, is another thrust point. A good educa tion is , in essence, a process of developing the human personality in all its dimensions - intellectual, physical, social, moral and spirit ual. But for a variety of r easons, the effective dimension of personality has in recent times been seriously neglected in our education. Education today has almost degenerated int o a process of informa tion-tra nsmission, acqu ired through rote learning with its sole objective being passing of examinations. Education should not be a process whereby it ha s been transfor med into a system where a man knows a screwdriver and a hammer, but does not know what to do with them. Therefore, when we speak of value education, the development of social, mor al, aest hetic a nd spir itual aspects of man’s personality are all ta ken into account. Fourthdevelopment of aest hetic sense in life. Aesthetic sense, an ability to appreciate and understand the beauty of nature and art, needs to be developed for: @ preservation of the environment; @ development and preservation of art and culture @ development of the three faculties of personality - (i) knowing, (ii) feeling, (iii) doing; @ developing love and appreciation for art and artistic p ursuits in diverse and different aspects; @ developing love and desira ble attitudes t owards nature, art and natura l resou rces @ instilling the impor tance of maintaining moral standard right from the early formative year s of children is importa nt in today’s fa st dwindling morality in he world. @ addressing the importance and compulsion to prevent dangers and damage to ear th planet by our senseless a nd greedy act ions. The global warming resu lting in snow storms and eve incr easing ice melting, r aising the levels of sea to swallow more and more areas of isla nds, seen in the Television as a sort of entertainment, is a stark realit y that human existence on this planet is in r eal danger. Economic pursuits without consideration for environment also pose a risk to humanity. T herefor e, students fr om their early age should be sensitised on this and be made to understand and contribute in every little possible wa y they can.- 4 - Ex-146/2013 Aesthetic sense can be cultivated and nurtured through - (i) Poetry - which dea ls with the beauty and abunda nce of nature and life, in a ll its magnificent forms; (ii) Less ons in Language Classes - which dea l with human na ture, life and art in its va ried forms; (iii) Lessons in Environmental Studies; (iv) Art Education that includes drawing, painting, sculpting, music, dance, drama and theatre THE MIZORAM EDUCATION POLICY Taking all the above in consideration, the State Government of Mizoram has formulated the following 10 (ten) p oints asMIZORAM EDUCATION POLICYwhich it will try to implement and achieve with its available resources:- ONE:REORGANISATION AND REVAMP OF EDUCATION DEPARTMENT: Some changes and reorganisa tions have taken place in education since Mizoram had its first government continuing till today. Some of these changes have indeed contributed towards achieving positive results in the State. But it is a fact tha t more improvements in the system within the organisation are needed. Services in the Education Department have to be re- orga nised to have efficient and smooth administration within the or ganisation. Monitor ing and Supervision of educational institutions, being an essentia l part of education, has to be re-inforced by adopting better system of inspection/supervision/monitoring and equipping the inspecting officer with the required inputs. Better methods of r ecr uitment of t eachers, teacher educa tion and t eacher tra ining a nd evolving meaningful and effective system of service delivery in the Department to be addressed. It is required for the State to improve the position, status and social standing of teachers, which all contribute to making the teaching profession noble and dignified. Service rules and conditions of s ervice of teachers and non-t eaching facult y need to be reviewed, and suitably changed to make services in education enviable to attract the best talents. The service conditions of t hose serving under the Education Department, such as the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT ), Mizoram Boa rd of S chool Education (MBSE) and Institutions like the Institute of Advanced Study in Education (IASE), College of Teacher Education (CTE), District Institute of Teacher Education (DIET), District Resource Centre (DRC), Mizoram Hindi Training College, Polytechnics and Law College need to be reviewed and improved to suit the cha nged circumstances of the twenty-fir st century. TWO:UNIVERSALISATION OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION: Since our independence in 1947, Universalisation of Elementary Education (UEE) has cont inued to be a priority of the Government of India. With the enactment of theRight Of Children To Free And Compulsory Education Act, 2009,it has become a fundamental right of every child aged 6 to 14 years to be provided fr ee and compulsory education by the Government. The contributions fr om the Central Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in setting the sta ge for UEE thr ough immense input of the Sa rva Shiksha Abhyan (SSA), have not only helped in realisation of UEE but also contributed in ra ising t he literacy percentage of the St ate.- 5 -Ex-146/2013 By school mapping and identifying the gap and providing schools and the necessary accompanying paraphernalia, Mizoram State is poised to become an exemplar of excellence in the country through contributions of t he loca l community, local elected representa tives, Non- Governmental Organisations like Young Mizo Association (YMA) and Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP). THREE: LEARNING WITH UNDERSTANDING AND COMPREHENSION: The MizoramEducation Reforms Commission reiterates the importance of learning with understanding and comprehension and doing away with rote learning. When a child learns by rote learning, the retention of what he learns matters only for a limited period of time and does not really contribute towards understanding of what he has learnt thereby having no real impa ct on his further studies. To do a way with the system of r ote learningLearning outcomeswill be identified to ensure that objectives of learning are fulfilled. Steps will fur ther be taken to p romot e overall understa nding a nd competency of lear ning objectives through aChild-centred approachfocusing on the needs of the child with activity- based learning at the primary stage. Any learning system needs support of an equally sound system of evaluation and Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE),in place now in Mizoram, for two years, following t he enactment of the RTE Act and the timely recommendation of theEducation Reforms Commission, has substantially improved the level of learning in elementary education. Similarly, in the College level, S emester System has been introduced and has b egun to show positive results and the Semester System, being the sister-system of CCE, would soon be intr oduced in secondary level. The medium through which the Curriculum is transacted becomes vital to promote comprehensive learning and understanding. Taking into account t he conviction t hat a child lear ns best when he understands what he learns the fir st choice for medium of instr uction will undoubtedly be theHome language/ Mother tongue/First language of the child at the first years of schooling. But importance of English for communication and for the purpose of quality education at the secondar y and tertiary levels cannot be minimized or over-emphasized. Lear ning in one’s mother-tongue at Primary level of elementa ry education and in English from the upper primary, seconda ry and tertiar y levels would enhance the quality of educa tion in the State. FOUR:VOCATIONAL EDUCATION (SKILL DEVELOPMENT): At present, almost all the schools in t he entir e State offer only general education with only a small percentage of students at secondary and College levels are pursuing vocational education. It is, therefore, no wonder that a large percentage of students are consigned to abandon fur ther studies and remain unemployed. Therefore, vocational education needs to be int roduced from Class IX as a sepa rate stream of study for students t o pursue their chosen field of study to cater to their different interests and aptitudes in addition to what is presently available in Industrial Training Institutes (ITI), Polytechnics and Vocational Education offered in a few Schools. The Ministry of Huma n Resource Development ha s come up wit h a compr ehensive scheme calledNational Vocational Education Qualification Framework (NVEQF) which has a ten-stage of vocational education study beginning from Class IX cont inuing right up to the top level wher e one gets a Doctorate Degree. Therefore in order to implement this program proper linkage between School Education, Higher and Technical Education and Univer sity- 6 - Ex-146/2013 needs to be established. T he State needs to veer towards Vocational Education where skill development is part and pa rcel of the courses. It is the avowed determination of the State Government of Mizor am to enhance the employability of its youth for jobs in t he domestic markets and abroad. Some Colleges in the State where only general education is taught would need to be converted to Community Colleges utilizing the infra structure of the no longer viable Colleges in the St ate. FIVE:HIGHER STUDIES AND PROFESSIONAL COURSES: The number of existing Institutions offering higher education and p rofessional courses is grossly inadequa te. The two Universities of the State, namelyMizoram University (Central Government) andInstitute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI), a private university established by a State legislation are inadequate for the State. The State is yet to have a Medical College, an Engineering College or even an Agricultural College.The National Institute of Technology (NIT),recently set up at Lengpui, is one of our va lued educational institutions. The Government of Mizoram is awar e of the needs of the youths not only for the state of Mizoram but also for the entire nation in providing tra ining of the youths to meet the needs of industries and technology within and outside the state. In order to achieve this goal, the government is placing more emphasis on vocational trainings. The government is also embarking on bringing experts in this field. The government will legislate mor e private universities who are willing to impart such training as to increase employability of Mizo youths in and outside Mizoram who will be able to face challenges with their knowledge anywher e in the world. The Government of India also sanctioned two (2) Community Colleges to be established in Mizoram recently. T he courses offered in this Community Colleges will also prepare the youths in getting themselves employment and self reliant. Participation of private entities in the Educational System of the country is the need of the hour. The government is therefore, very much a ware of the situation. The government welcomed private entities t o participate in the Educational System of M izoram not as a commercial venture but as a philanthropic and educator. The State Government is working on regulation as to how the priva te schools and colleges funct ions in compliance with the Right to Education Act. (RTE.) The percentage of Mizoram students pursuing higher and professional education needs to be greatly increased to cope with the prevailing unemployment. To achieve this, it is the intention of the State Government to provide opportunities in the College thereby encouraging the students to study Science, Mathematics and Technology subjects for better prospects. SIX:INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: The world is full of unexpected surprises, some of them good and some not s o good. The Central Government has enacted a number of legislations to ensure that physically challenged persons, who are differently abled, get their due place. It is the solemn affirma tion of the Mizoram State Government to provide maximum oppor tunities to the people with special needs in matters of educa tion, jobs and private enterprises. It is unfor tunate that even in the most advanced countr ies, the general attit ude towards people with disabilities r emain the same as in the earlier ages and they are still considered not as equals. It is the intention and policy of the State Government of Mizoram to give efforts to affording equal opportunities to the people with special needs, and strictly implementing statutory provisions of legislations to benefit them.- 7 -Ex-146/2013 SEVEN: TEACHERS’ WELFARE AND TEACHER EDUCATION: Happy in their status and satisfied in their career as teachers are good teachers. Cor rect and differential tr eatment of teachers by the Government and by public make ideal teachers. Their service conditions, their welfare and future pr ospects all combine to create the r ight ingr edients for good teachers. Good teachers give bir th to good students, good students give birth to good nations. Therefore, the Government of Mizoram is committed towar ds improving the service conditions and affording teachers their rightful place in their career a nd society. Good academicians and excellent qualifications do not necess arily make good teachers. New techniques a nd methods in teaching to reach the understa nding levels of the students through appropriate and suitable trainings are needed to make good t eachers. To achieve this, the State Government is determined to make efforts in improving the service conditions of the teachers and providing Teacher Education Institutions for them. EIGHT: STRONG CULTURAL ROOTS AND MORAL VALUES:The old saying - “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; But when character is lost, everything is lost” still holds true today, and it is likely to be more so in the future. Therefore, classroom and out of classroom teachings in education need to be more comprehensive and relate to all-round development of the students. It is paramountly important to instill moral va lues to children in their formative years and even later in life. In this tur bulent and fast-life civilization, the younger generation has to be nourished with cult ural and moral values that ha ve stood the test of time. Lessons in textbooks should also be so designed to sha pe corr ect mor al behaviour a nd life attitudes. School students in Japan a re taught to clean their cla ss rooms and the school premises. Similarly, the Mizo people, used to har d work, from da ys immemorial, are never known to shirk work at any period in recent history. They happily work in community as members of Young Mizo Associa tion (YMA) and some Church and community Associations. Therefore, work and labour continue to be an integral part of Mizo community. Dignity of labour, however highly placed one may be in society, is what is intended to be embedded in the schools and colleges at all levels from Pre-Prima ry to University. Education, is an effective means of improving society, beca use education not only provides, but it is also a major contributor towards upr ightness in society and promoting peace at a ll levels. T he sayings of these two famous people abunda ntly manifest the importance of education for the people and the country- Victor Hugo - “He who opens a school door, closes a prison” Henry Peter, Lord Brougham- “Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave”- 8 - Ex-146/2013 NINE:PRIVATISATION IN EDUCATION: For two or three centuries, the world witnessed a scenario where the Sta te has been burdened with its sacred duty to deliver education to its people. It is on this context that President Franklin D. Roosevelt of USA aid,“The school is the last expenditure on which America should be willing to economize.” Education still continues to be one of the important obligations of State, not only in India, but throughout the world at la rge. In spite of the State’s obligation to provide education to its people, privatisation of education from the lowest to the highest level has been found to b e in vogue, not only in India but also in other parts of the world. There are a good number of reasons privatised education fares better than education provided under government control. One of the reigning factors responsible for this is evidently that private educationa l institutions have t o compete with one another to attract students as they are commercial institutions. Therefore, it is the avowed intention of the Mizoram State Government to encourage private educational institutions from the State as well as from outside the state. At the same time, healthy competition should also be encouraged amongst the State- run educational institutions and there should a lso be healthy competition between them and the privately-run educational institutions. TEN:EMPOWERMENT OF COMMUNITY: A new English word‘communitisation’ has been coined in Nagala nd recently to describe a system of community empowerment in improvement of public utilities, such as pr imary school education, water supply and village health care by directly involving the community in the day to day activities of the public service utilities. As evidently true from the oft saying that “Government does not have all the answers”there are areas where the community can mana ge much better than the government because the community is the stake-holder in the affa irs. This is one reason why decentralisation, depending dir ectly on the local people, for its successful execution of works and progr ammes, has continued to be the favourite in efficient administration and development. It is, therefor e, the endeavour of Mizoram State to encourage empowerment of community in education. CONCLUSIONThe Government of Mizoram, having formulated the aboveEDUCATION POLICY,is committed to take all necess ary steps to execute a nd implement the above given point s to achieve the targets in the best interest and benefits of the people of Mizoram.
