The Union human resources development ministry is contemplating setting up of an Indian Education Services (IES) for education administrators on the lines of other specialised civil services.
At a round table on teachers’ education held on Monday, the HRD minister, Mr Kapil Sibal, directed a group of experts to study and suggest how to start the proposed IES. The former education secretary, Mr Anil Bordia, will head the group which will submit its recommendation on how to establish the IES.
The proposal was put forth by the ministry as it hopes that such a dedicated service for education will help improve administration in the education sector which needs the officers to be well-versed with the subject. The idea to establish IES was planned in 1980s’ when P. V. Narasimha Rao was HRD minister.
