Four Senate members at the University of Calicut have approached Higher Education Minister R. Bindu against the move to launch four-year undergraduate degree programmes in colleges from the upcoming academic year.
In a memorandum to the Minister, P. Rasheed Ahammed, Abida Farooqui, Anwar Shafi, and K.T. Abdul Jabbar alleged that there had been an unwarranted haste in implementing the programmes as proposed in the National Education Policy 2020.
They said that while multiple entry and exit options were cited as a major attraction of these programmes, there are apprehensions about the practical problems in their implementation in a country like India. It is not advisable to implement the proposal in Kerala in hurry at a time even the Centre is planning to hold consultative meetings of stakeholders.
