Talks will help take education system forward, says Amartya Sen

Nobel laureate Amartya Sen on Tuesday said continuous discussion among stakeholders was required to take the education system forward.
 
“Only talks can enable us to find out merits and demerits in our education system. Any deficiency and lacunae in our education system can be traced and defined through continuous discussion only,” Sen said.
 
“Discussion among teachers themselves, among teachers and students and among students themselves, thus, lead to expansion of knowledge. The basis of education is discussion,” Sen said, after launching the report of Pratichi Trust, an organisation headed by him.
