A teacher conference organised by the Wisdom Islamic Youth Organisation at Manjeri near Malappuram on Sunday called upon society to deeply introspect the reasons for the flagging quality of education in Kerala.
The meeting also called upon those in power to chalk out measures to address the issue and strengthen the State’s education system.
The meeting pointed out that Kerala, which used to be ahead in education, was being pushed back because of flawed education policies. The free education up to 14 years as put forth by the Constitution is being made a mockery of by promoting underserving children, it said.
