Imphal, July 02 2012:
A 3-day Education Workshop was organized under the 'Campaign for Transformation of Education System in Manipur' of the All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) from June 24 to 26 at the AMSU headquarters.
The workshop stressed on analysing the RTE Act, different systems of education and the Common School System (CSS), among other topics, with Thokchom Surjit as the resource person.
Terming formal education as "noncontextual", AMSU implied the presence of a colonial agenda in the system which makes it a challenging task to bring equity, equality and social justice in the community, said a statement.
Further, it added the need for the teachers, parents and others knowledgable to discuss the transformation of the education system that has forced students away from their own community.
