Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said the recommendations put forth by the three commissions constituted to reform the higher education sector will be implemented without delay.
The concerns of all stakeholders would be addressed in the process, he added. Mr. Vijayan was speaking at the launch of the Higher Education Empowerment Implementation Plan here on Tuesday. He also laid the foundation stone of the Unnatha Vidya Bhavan, the headquarters of the Kerala State Higher Education Council (KSHEC) on the occasion.
He expressed confidence the government’s goal of establishing 30 Centres of Excellence would go a long way in improving standards of higher education in the State. These centres would enjoy a high level of autonomy, despite functioning under State universities. Five or six of the proposed centres will be launched this year, he added.
