Something is rotten in the state of India’s education, with apologies to William Shakespeare; a harsher law will not do the job that an overhaul, without ideological bias, would. The solution to paper leaks does not lie in harsher punishment for the small fry who are invariably nabbed for paper leaks. The paper leaks business is big, an estimated Rs 1,000 crores at least. Education needs capacity-building reforms that create the capabilities required by an economy that must adopt and adapt to AI technologies. The harsh law enacted after the paper leaks reveals that he has no understanding of how to fulfil his guarantees.
