Thiruvananthapuram: Education minister C. Raveendranath has said that the government would prepare a master plan for education to identity issues like infrastructure needed for various institutions. The approach in the master plan would not be issue- specific but holistic, Mr Raveendranath told reporters here on Thursday. It has been found that issue-specific solutions will not work in many areas. Institution-wise master plan would be prepared to identify the problems.
The master plan would be prepared after collecting the base data in one year. Status quo will be maintained during the period. The government will not close down any educational institution unless due to court intervention. This policy would be applicable for autonomous colleges and self-financing colleges also.
The government would initiate talks with self-financing colleges for solving the issues in the sector. Talks will be held with managements, students’ organisations and other stakeholders, he said.
