Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad (KSSP) has demanded drastic changes in the higher Education system in the state.
The KSSP leaders said the reports that ineligible persons were appointed in the top posts of educational institutions has put a question mark on the credibility of the higher education system in the state.
There is widespread concern that the policy is against the concept of all-inclusive education, Parishad leaders said in the statement.
Kerala government has already taken measures to transform the state into a knowledge Society. Though the has been taking major steps to achieve this goal, there are many issues to be resolved, they pointed out.
As per the data provided byKerala Higher Education Boardin 2021, there are 18 universities and 1,504 colleges in the state. Though there are adequate infrastructural facilities, around 80,000-degree seats remain vacant every year, most of them in the unaided sector.
