    "content": "go into the sectors that are important to them. With the discovery of energy, oil and water; that should be the main angle and stream of the sort of training that should come up so that whatever these young people are learning benefits them. The Committee has made various recommendations. They go along the line of discourse. One is formulating a policy on laptop projects. As I said earlier on, the process should have been looked into, so that there is sustainability of the project way before it was put into place. If this project will be considered in the future, then a clear policy on it has to be brought to the fore right from the beginning. It should have a sustainable angle, so that the direction it goes is clear. The other key recommendation that this Committee made from the observations that were made at the Committee level was that we need to work with UNESCO in teachers’ training on ICT integration in education. Information and Communication Technology cannot be overstated. Various countries have gone way ahead. We are now in the age of an information superhighway and advanced communication. The older generation is struggling with technology, but the younger generation is more up to it. There is no way we can achieve the developmental goals without ICT integration. The Committee on ICT of this House has been doing a lot of work in that direction to ensure that, that happens. On sexual education, there is need not to shy away from appropriate level of information in sex matters. Some people think that in sex education students will be taught how to do sex. However, it is about health and making the right choices. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I request for just two minutes."
