The recommended syllabus for Course 2 (Academic Writing and Presentation) among the Common Courses, as recommended by the Higer Education Council, contains Power Point. I think we should register our protest. The syllabus should not specify a particular company's software. It has to be generic. They should change it to Multimedia Presentation. Can we send a letter to the Higher Education Council and to the Education Minister on this issue?
Not just a protest for branding the education on the name of one software or company, but also for the fact that we should not include those softwares in education which are developed by handfull of people trying to impose themselves on people at large for their personal business.
Educational institutes should *only* teach softwares where every one from the community has a say and not just a few people who would tell you "this is how it is supposed to be ". happy hacking. Krishnakant.
