Govt. may usher in reforms before Assembly elections
The higher education sector is likely to become a key beneficiary of the upcoming State Budget. Besides earmarking a significant portion of allocation for infrastructure development, the government has set its sights on ushering in reforms before heading for the Assembly elections.
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) government had succeeded in realising some of its ambitious goals such as setting up the State Assessment and Accreditation Centre (SAAC) and the Sree Narayana Guru Open University, both of which have been in the pipeline for long.
University decides to resume private registrations The University of Kerala has formally decided to resume regular classes of undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses in affiliated colleges on January 4. The Syndicate which met on Monday granted approval to the resumption of offline classes for final-year UG courses, first and fourth semesters BEd and all PG courses in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines laid down by the government.
According to official sources, colleges will function from 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. on all days except Sunday. Class sessions will be conducted in morning and evening shifts daily to ensure 50% attendance at a time.
