Why it matters
The remarks spark debate on the role of formal education versus moral values in shaping civic behavior and the challenges of modern pedagogy.
Stressing on the need for teachers to lay more emphasis on moral education for children, Karnataka’s Minister for Health and Family Welfare U.T. Khader said that governments are facing more problems from educated people than the uneducated ones.
Speaking at the district-level Teacher’s Day celebrations, Mr. Khader, who heads the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Educational Reforms, said, “Governments face problems from educated people than the uneducated ones. Educated people are the ones found involved in corrupt practices, communal activities, and terrorist activities. It is important for you focus more on teaching moral values to students.”
Mr. Khader said teaching in the present age of technology is challenging. “Students use artificial intelligence to check the knowledge of teachers. It is necessary for teachers to be up to date with AI and prevailing technological advancements. These are all the aspects we (cabinet sub committee) are looking into,” Mr. Khader said.
