2. 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.
3. Education system in Kerala - History
Gurukul System
Pallikkoodams by Christian missionaries -
irrespective of caste or religion
School for girls was established by the
Maharaja in 1859, which was an act
unprecedented in the Indian subcontinent
In the 1860’s, the government spread the
educational programs into Malabar
4. Kerala's achievements in the field of education
- near total literacy, free and universal primary
education.
Low drop out rate at the school level, easy
access to educational institutions, gender
equality in access etc. –
In these respects, Kerala is often compared not
only with the other Indian states or developing
countries but also with some of the developed
countries.
5. Importance of education in kerala
emerged as the single largest economic
activity of the state
Government expenditure on education as a
ratio of the state domestic product despite
decline in recent years is one of the highest
in the country
Education accounts for more than one third
of the total revenue expenditure of the state
Cond..
6. Women’s education is given prior
importance.

No fees(or a nominal fees) are required in schools run by or aided by

13. 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…………
14. 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…
15. 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

have to be women.
Integrated Child Development Scheme

16. 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
17. Other Govt. Schemes

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

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.
19. 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
20. 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.
“What to do with the Grade ? No idea..”
21. 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….
22. 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.
23. 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
24. 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 ????
25. 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..
