While speaking at a panel discussion, which focused on emerging issues around safe and secure education of children, especially girls, he said giving quality educational environment should be absolutely “non-negotiable”.
“We need a non-negotiable educational environment, I am not sure that this thought permeates within our policy makers in India today. Learning is as natural for a child as eating and breathing.
“All the system has to provide is the environment and a teacher, a child will automatically learn. But we have converted it into a very complicated process,” Subramanian said.
“My Safety My Education…MY RIGHT: Making Education Safe and Secure”, organised by Care India, called for a focused campaign and decisive action on the issue if India has to meet the objectives stipulated under Right to Education Act 2009.
