Higher Education Commission | Kerala CM not in support of replacing the UGC with the HECI
On Friday, Kerala CM, Pinarayi Vijayan, state clearly that he is against the center’s decision to replace the University Grants Commission with the Higher Education Commission. He said that with this move center is trying to restrict the role of the states in matters related to the education. He said “the Center’s ‘unilateral’ decision to do away with the apex higher education regulator, University Grants Commission and replace it with the Higher Education Commission under the Human Resource Development Ministry, will lead to far-reaching repercussions in the field of higher education”. He further said that a similar move was tried by the first UPA government under which the government tried to constitute education commission which could replace the UGC. But their attempt to commercialize the education sector was met with strong opposition from the lest parties and the scheme could not be implemented. He also alleged “Besides commercialization, the BJP had another aim to implement thedecision — saffronization of the educational sector.” “ Those who are against the BJP’s proposed move to do away with the UGC, need to raise their voice,” the chief minister said.
