The Kerala government is putting in a lot of thought, investments and planning to bring about timely and radical changes in the higher education sector and to introduce new courses which will attract students from across the country and abroad, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
The attempt is to make Kerala a hub of higher education and take the universities and the courses to international standards, he said, in reply to a calling attention motion by Eldhose Kunnappilly, MLA, on Monday on how students no longer wanted to pursue higher education in the State.
This requires huge investments in terms of money, effort and innovation but the government was determined to do wherever was necessary to bring about the changes in university education suited to the times, said Mr. Vijayan.
