Launching private universities in the State is under active consideration of the government, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
“The government is planning revolutionary changes in the higher education sector. The old concept of universities and affiliated institutions should be changed. Drastic changes are happening in the higher education sector all over the world. We need to keep the pace with them,” the Chief Minister said while addressing the Navakerala Sadas morning meeting here on Tuesday.
Similar to the education model prevalent in foreign universities, the government is planning to introduce a system which will provide job opportunities for students along with their higher studies. A discussion will be held with labour organisations to introduce creative changes in labour laws without harming the interests of the workers, he said.
