Kapil Sibal opts for continuity in ministry

Speaking to reporters soon after taking over his new charge, Sibal said “Whatever policy has been started or rules and regulations framed by the previous government will not be scrapped. I respect my predecessor, who is a respectable leader of the Congress”.
The policies and programmes started by the HRD Ministry during last five years will be continued with modifications “as required”, he added.
Sibal, however, said changes were required in the education sector to enable the children and youth to compete with their counterparts at the international level.  
He said changes are required with respect to curriculum at every stages. The Government will ‘look into’ the issue of reservation for OBCs in private unaided educational institutions.
