With
a view to improve the standard of higher education in the
State, the state government has taken a decision to implement
semester system in post graduation and graduation classes.
Governor Dr Balram Jakhar chaired the State-level coordination
committee meeting in Raj Bhawan which would empower and be
helpful in reforming education. It was also decided in the
meeting that in coming session 2008-09 a calendar of 200 working
days should be prepared. There is need of 200 working days
for study because the course of the students might be completed
and unnecessary wastage of time should be checked. But it
should be implemented honestly and transparently. Similarly,
the fees taken from the students would be unified which is
a commendable step. Governor has also issued directives for
filling up vacant posts with a view to improve the quality
of education in colleges and universities. Colleges and universities
problems in completing courses due to lack of teachers. Governor
has also given directives for necessary administrative reforms
in universities. Quality of education gets affected due to
negligence and unwanted delays of the staff in the universities.
Thus there is need to bring in administrative reforms. The
initiative for reforms in higher education at the state level
coordination committee meeting is commendable. These efforts
would go a long way in bringing the education system on par
with the national level.
