Birth pangs of an academic reform in Kerala

The Hindu  

“How can exams be held as per this schedule when the portions are far from over? Nearly five months after FYUGP was launched, academic experts say there are questions on how the ambitious objective of “enabling students to acquire competence in using digital technologies and other skills essential to participate in the knowledge economy” will be met amidst the gaps in the academic and infra requirements demanded by the new system. By aligning BVoc programmes with the four-year programme, the idea is to enhance the employability of students, preparing them for diverse career paths in evolving industries while maintaining the focus on skill development,” he says. A draft review of the programme by the KSHEC and the Department of Higher Education states that all colleges will offer internship opportunities through State-level portals and the centres for skill development and career planning. “The choice of students and flexibility envisaged in the curriculum depend on courses included in the university course basket and the willingness of the faculty at the college level,” they say.
