“From 2021, am doing this meeting. Half the students in a government school in high school can’t beat a classroom test score. We need to improve the quality. Our state has one of the highest gross enrollment rates, over 50 per cent. Our state universities produce over 6500 PhDs every year, which is a very impressive figure indeed. The other side of the story is that in 6500 plus PHD, not even 1 per cent is NET GRF qualified, that is UGC. That determines the eligibility mandate, whether the scholar is intelligent enough to take up the research. We found that the situation is not very comfortable,” he added. RN Ravi further criticised the state education system and said that the government high school students can’t read the class 2 textbooks “More than 50 per cent of students can’t recognise two-digit numbers between 11 and 99. Reason being state universities were working in silos led by secretariat. Many universities are in very bad financial situation, and the government is unable to bail them out,” Ravi alleged. The Conference aims to have detailed deliberations and interactive sessions on a gamut of issues covering Implementation of National Credit Framework, Academic collaborations among Universities, use of Artificial Intelligence to maximise learning outcomes, financial management in educational institutions, research excellence, promoting entrepreneurship, capacity building for learners, creating wealth through Intellectual Property (IP) and careers in rehabilitation of differently abled persons.
