Listing out a slew of education-related initiatives of the new
government, Irani said that one of the biggest challenge is the absence
of credit transfer system.
In the absence of such a system, many individuals who take up employment are unable to continue their studies.
Giving her own example, the minister said, "I was a working professional who fell out of the education system because I wanted to retain job. The biggest challenge is that we do not have a credit transfer system within our country."
On November 11, which will be observed as Education Day in the country, the government is going to "launch for the first time a credit equivalent transfer system", the Minister said while speaking at the India Economic Summit organised by Geneva-based World Economic Forum (WEF) and Indian industry chamber CII.
The new system would help transfer of credit from one educational institution to another.
