Conference on Innovation in Higher Education- Focus on Kerala

New Delhi: The Indian education system recognizes the role of education in instilling the values of secularism, egalitarianism, respect for democratic traditions and civil liberties and quest for justice. It aims at creating citizens equipped with necessary knowledge, skills and values to build an inclusive, just and progressive society.

There are certain factors that make Kerala a preferred destination for higher education. It has adequate educational institutions, efficient and committed teachers, strong education policy of the government, and infrastructural facilitates for professional education. Notwithstanding these gains, the higher education system has not achieved many of its transformational goals.

The conference was inaugurated by The Hon'ble Minister for Education, Mr P K Abdu Rabb and the Keynote address was delivered by the Former Ambassador to UN & Executive Vice Chairman, Kerala State Higher Education Council, Mr T P Sreenivasan. The Conference focused on; • Revisit the notion of transformation holistically, focusing on issues of access, equity and quality in relation to the core functions of higher education; • Challenges Faced by the Education System in Kerala; • Discuss scope for improvement and practical recommendations; • Discuss on the way forward and developments in the present Education System.
