Addressing the inaugural session of the two-day national convention on 'National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 – Strategies for implementation', Dhankar said that training of teachers and implementation of NCF's vision has to be quickly addressed by the State and Central governments, adding that a very important role has to be played by state and district education councils.

"…There is a scope of flexibility in the curriculum, which is why we can accommodate students even with minor disabilities and hence the training of the teachers becomes very important," he said.

On being asked as to whether NCF–2005 and the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) can be clubbed to create a shared knowledge base, he said that there was no harm in promoting a merger provided the definitions of knowledge according to the NKC is changed.

"The NKC is based more on the input that furthers economical progress, but NCF has more to do with the means to gather such knowledge. If we are to consider economical progress while addressing the issues of education, then schools in the remote areas would not benefit," he added. However, he said that if the two work together, then its implementation and strategising would be easier.

Pointing out the important aspects of NCF-2005 in an endeavour to bring about revolutionary changes in the country's school education system and to adopt a constructivism and learner-centred instructional approach, Dhankar said that the use of education for spreading propaganda must stop.
