Restructuring Undergraduate Education Report (The Kerala State Higher Education Council)

Abstract

Undergraduate education in Kerala requires major transformations, a transformation from rigid to flexible, from a set pattern to choice based structure, from exclusive summative evaluation to continuous assessment, from teacher-centred to student-centred approach, from year system to semester system, from talk-and-chalk to activity based education. These are indeed ambitious, exciting, and challenging transformations. Realities of resource limitations, of infrastructure, of permanent teachers, of finance, of appropriate regulatory frame work etc., which are well known, cannot obviously be wished away. But the transformation has to commence, by overcoming the constraints, as it is the need of the society and the need of the hour.
