Is technology for education or education for technology, teachers have asked the state education department in view of the formation of the State Education Technology Forum (SETF), which does not have a single representative from the teaching community. According to teachers, if the committee is formed to ensure maximum and qualitative use of technology in education for greater efficiency, some among them should also be a part of the policy-making committee. However, a Government Resolution (GR) issued in this regard does not mention the presence of any teacher on the panel.

A letter of disappointment is being circulated among teachers with a demand to dissolve the committee. The letter, addressed to Maharashtra School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad, also demands the GR be scrapped and work on the SETF restarted with adequate teaching representation. Currently the letter is being circulated among teachers to get support signatures and will soon be sent to Gaikwad.
