- Orissa must create an infrastructure for Remote education. The
three established Universities should be funded and goaled to have a
remote site in equal number of districts each, where there are no
universities. These campuses will be located in each District. They
would use master teachers, 5 of whom will be identified by each of
the 4 existing Universities(Ravenshaw, Utkal, Berhampore, and
Sambalpur Universities) and autonomous Colleges and courses broad cast
to the substandard colleges that have come up, to upgrade the standard
and make them uniform. Additionally, they should make provision for
the students to meet regularly say for six days every two months to
develop peer interaction, a part of the study. This will upgrade the
standard and access in no time. Each of the blocks can have a remote
center if Broadband is made to reach all Block HQ in next 3 years.
- De-funding of old Universities, while starting brand new ones, is a
very reprehensible pattern, that is developing all over India. Quality
higher education can't be had this way. There should be a few centers
of excellence rather than a large number of tutoring shops, devoid of
creative & critical thinking.
- Tuition should be totally banned and the rules enforced, strictly.
Otherwise whole education infrastructure will collapse due creation of
Zombies. Quota can be managed but "Kota" will irreparably damage the
system.
