Higher Education Minister R. Bindu has lashed out at purported efforts made by various quarters to undermine the higher education sector in Kerala for political and other vested interests.
She was also critical of the narrative that attributed the migration of higher education aspirants from the State to the waning standards of education.
Inaugurating a deliberation with the academic community of Kerala University on the introduction of four-year degree courses here on Thursday, Dr. Bindu said the reform will enable students to acquire skills necessary for employment as well as facilitate research and in-depth study in a wide array of disciplines.
