The promotion of cultural knowledge, creativity and inter cultural understanding through education has become the need of the hour to prepare the children to understand changes in needs and to anticipate them. Education in “Arts” and Education through the “Arts” open up access to a widely defined cultural education and are an essential part of it. The ability to enter into intercultural dialogue and trans-cultural understanding will decide the future of our blooming scholars.
In order to achieve the goals of cultural understanding/ education, the Ministry of Human Resource Development has established a well knit Educational System – CCRT, Centre for cultural resource and trainings which trains almost all the teachers throughout the year in different courses offered by them. Moreover, the department also provides opportunities to the scholars to understand unity in diversity and other crafts and arts by undertaking different tour programmes for the students all over the world.
The Government of Jammu & Kashmir has also taken positive steps in this behalf by establishing Cultural Education Wing in the Directorate of School Education with District Coordinators at the District level.
