Kerala's Higher Education Sector Faces Criticism in New Report

The higher education sector in Kerala, according to a recent report, isn't doing as well as the government claims.

The report, by NITI Aayog, shows Kerala's universities and colleges lagging behind other South Indian states.

The Save University Campaign Committee (SUCC) points out that only a few universities in Kerala rank among the best nationally.

Kerala's student-teacher ratio and the percentage of young people in higher education are also not the best compared to other states.

The SUCC believes the government's efforts to control universities could harm them, and they want universities to have more independence.
