State universities are set to initiate preparatory steps for the full-scale implementation of four-year undergraduate programmes in affiliated colleges next academic year onwards.
The Higher Education department has lined up a series of orientation sessions to assist the universities in accustoming to the new degree mode that would require fundamental changes in pedagogy, curriculum, course content and choices offered to the learners.
The university-level workshops led by Higher Education Minister R. Bindu will get under way at the Mahatma Gandhi University on Friday. Kannur University, Calicut University and Kerala University will organise the subsequent sessions on July 3, 4 and 6 respectively.
