PANAJI: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant today said that robotic education in Goa will lead the country.
CM Dr. Pramod Sawant launched CARES Educational Resources and Products and distributed prizes to felicitate the state-level winners for their contributions to the CARES Scheme.
“We are ahead of IT hubs like Bangalore and Pune, and robotic education in Goa will lead the country,” said Sawant
He further said that in the next two years, not a single engineering seat will be left vacant due to students’ growing interest in schemes like Coding and Robotics Education in Schools (CARES).
Government-run and aided schools across Goa are going beyond teaching traditional subjects and now imparting education in coding and robotics in tune with changing times, opening up a world of opportunities for students and making them ready for new-age industries.
Around 65,000 students in such schools in the coastal state are learning coding and robotics at a young age as part of an ambitious skilling programme of the government that aims to make them future-ready.
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant recently told the legislative assembly that the state government has been implementing the Coding and Robotics Education in Schools (CARES) scheme to equip students with new skills so that they are industry-ready.
Sawant said during the COVID-19 pandemic, computer teachers from all schools were trained by the Directorate of Technical Education and Goa Engineering College to make them “master trainers.”
He maintained that coding and robotics equipment are given to schools free of charge, which is helping students learn new skills and prepare themselves to meet the needs of the digital world.
