Educational system in KERALA –REFLECTION OF Present

Govt. INTERVENTIONS

EDUCATION ?..

Education is not preparation for life; Education is life itself.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t.

Education system in Kerala - History Gurukul System Pallikkoodams by Christian

missionaries - irrespective of caste or religion

Universities

Major Govt. Interventions 1994 – DPEP (District Primary

Education Programme) A major initiative to revitalize the

primary education system and to achieve the objective of universalization of primary education.

DPEP has so far opened more than 1,60,000 new schools

Village Education was given more importance

About 1,77,000 teachers, including para-teachers have been appointed

From here to…………

The most negative part of the DPEP – it gave the children's a lot of negatives It made d language and spoken abilities

of our students worse they were made to collect match boxes

n feathers, well they were aimed at giving practical

experience for children - but what did it actually gave them? something is still a question mark…

2001 -SSA – (SARVA SHIKSHA ABHIYAN) Centrally sponsored scheme at the end

of the Ninth Five Year Plan to improve the educational status.

Education for girls, scheduled caste and tribal children

Education of sc/st children Free textbooks to all girls/SC/ST

children up to Class-VIII. At least 50 % of the teachers to be

appointed have to be women. Integrated Child Development Scheme

(ICDS).

2007 - Higher Secondary centralized Allotment Process (hsCap) Popularly known as Single Window

Admission The software is developed by taking

care of all the existing rules of rank generation and Communal reservations by the DHSE (Directorate of Higher Secondary Education)

hsCap provided by NIC has eliminated the requirement for a student to apply in multiple Schools where the student is seeking the admission and also eliminated the task of virtually appearing for interview in multiple schools

Other Govt. Schemes

Kalakshethra Kalaksethra is a district training centre

where special training/ coaching will be given to artistically talented but financially backward students.

Merit Cum Means Scholarship Comprehensive scholarship scheme of

the Higher Secondary level for the meritorious students belonging to BPL families.

Cond..

Remedial Coaching Remedial coaching is implemented to give

special coaching to weak students in selected Government Higher Secondary Schools having pass percentage below 50.

National Service Scheme NSS provides platform for leadership

practice life-skill acquisition etc and help the volunteers learn how to live among others

Adolescent Counseling and Health Care Programme

These was some of the very useful schemes introduced by the government.

2008 - Choice Based Credit System The Four Pillars of the UG reforms

-Semesterisation - Choice-based credit system - “Courses”

to “programmes” - Continuous assessment - Grading

A – Wow ! Outstanding Display of Knowledge/Understanding/Application

B – Very Good, but not extraordinary C – Good D- Fair/Satisfactory F - Poor/Unsatisfactory

“What to do with the Grade ? No idea..”

Although the Universities were vey much pleased and fast in introducing the Credit based and grading system on to the Degree level. But it was a severe headache to the Students and also with the teachers.

The latest comments from the students Calicut and Kannur Universities are of much worse in nature……

The news cutting from “The Hindu” also tells the same.

Medical – Engineering….. Great Problem ?????

In 2004 issues started in Kerala ,as 4 self FINANCING medical colleges started in Kerala .for the information of all ,its not the state government who gave permission to start college .but its the medical council .we don't need permission of state government for starting a college .we only needs a NOC certificate from state government. For giving NOC ,the state government gave a suggestion to the colleges that 50%of seats must be reserved for state merit. And for the rest you can do anything….

In 2005 admission was as 50:50 Huge donation for medical

Management Seats SFI Protesting Government failed to initiate proper

guidelines for starting of self financing colleges and their admission process

2006 – Election – LDF Govt. In the first year itself they failed ,the

private management consortium formed and no of colleges increased to 9.

In 2007 4 colleges under Christian management got their minority right

This year government formed Muhammad committee

Each colleges gave admission to whoever gave more money

This allegations started big quarrel between government and managements

Decided to conduct an entrance exam of their own and gave admission based on that

it created a 3 type fee system in the same college for same course – Injustice ?

From 2008 the admission in self financing colleges is going on uncontrolled

What can be done ????

A strict legislation can solve this issue

Government should take care to impliment a single fee system

Admission should be from state merit .

All colleges should bring under single regulatory committee.

The same kind of problems exist with the Engineering courses also..
