ਮੁੱਖ ਤੱਥ

Remember these

  • Karnataka plans to train 5,000 government school teachers in artificial intelligence.
  • The aim is to bring digital skills into government school classrooms.
  • Education is on the Concurrent List (Entry 25, List III) after the 42nd Amendment, 1976, so states and the Centre both legislate on it.
  • Right to Education: Article 21A makes elementary education (ages 6-14) a fundamental right.
  • NEP 2020 stresses teacher training, technology integration and digital literacy.

How the exam will ask it

ਪ੍ਰੀਲਿਮਜ਼

  • Article 21A, inserted by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002, provides free and compulsory education to children aged 6 to 14 years.
  • Education was moved from the State List to the Concurrent List by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.
  • NEP 2020 recommends continuous professional development of teachers and wider use of technology in education.

ਮੇਨਜ਼

GS-II (Education, governance) and GS-III (technology). Issue: government school teachers lack digital and AI skills, widening the learning divide. Policy: NEP 2020 and state training programmes promote tech-enabled teaching. Implication: gains depend on devices, connectivity and teacher capacity. Way forward: pair training with infrastructure, local-language content, regular assessment and ethical-use safeguards.
