India to Have 30 World-class Universities Across the Country: PM
"Our university system is, in many parts, in a state of disrepair," noted the prime minister, himself a former teacher who started his career as a lecturer of economics in Punjab before moving to Delhi University where he taught at the Delhi School of Economics.
"Almost two-thirds of our universities and 90 percent of our colleges are rated as below average on quality parameters. Importantly, there is nagging fear that university curricula are not synchronised with employment needs," he said.
"We need better facilities, more and better teachers, a flexible approach to curriculum development to make it more relevant, more effective pedagogical and learning methods and more meaningful evaluation systems."
He said 340 districts in the country had extremely low college enrolments and assured that the central government would work with these states to support the expansion of colleges.
"Each of these districts should strive to have at least one good college and the central government is considering ways of funding their establishment," the prime minister, who has been taking a keen interest in improving the country's education system and making it world-class, said.
