Siba(sim)lifying Education.

Our HRD minister Kapil Sibal also a well known lawyer of the Supreme Court brought about another significant proposal to uphold the education levels in India. After making 10 Exams optional he has already lessened the burden of the new generation students but now he has proposed a plan wherein there will be one subject of law mandatory till class XII, i being a law student feel this would be a great step to erase the ignorance of law that many in the country face, even if a student grows up to be a succcessful professional then also he wont be having even the basic knowledge of law. Including a basic subject of law in the syllabus as the Constitution or the History of Courts would be enough to make the New Generation aware of the basic utilities of law. In a wide country like India to spread the knowledge of law is a difficult task which can be simplifed or sibalified as i say by implementation of this plan. Also Mr. Sibal's secondary proposal is, that there should be a graduation degree with law in every field which gives us the hope of eradicating ignorance of law in the Country. He says that like the five years course which i m currently doing offers me a law degree then in the normal graduation degrees like B.A., B.Sc. etc can also have one basic subject of law relating to their field and theirs degrees can be given as B.A. ( Law) or B.Sc. (Law), this according to me would help professionals in their own respective field to have a basic knowledge of how law governs their field as every field engineering, medicine, etc is governed directly or indirectly by law. This would in many ways also help in the awarness of an individual's right; as a B.A. grad would not know what is Article 22 of the Constitution which i know is Preventive Detention and this being the fundamental right should be known by all. The new proposed plan promises to eradicate this problem. But the only problem i see is that limited awarness has lead to this many arrers in the various courts then what would happen when people are completely aware?????
