`Stop move to apoliticise higher education sector'

KANNUR, JAN. 10 . The All Kerala Private College Teachers' Association (AKPCTA) has urged college teachers to resist moves to apoliticise the higher education sector in the State.

Inaugurating a workshop on higher education, organised by the Kannur-Kasaragod unit of the AKPCTA at the Sree Narayana College here today, the AKPCTA State general secretary, A. Prathapachandran Nair, said the move to apoliticise the higher education sector was the greatest crisis facing the sector. Various institutional arms of the Government had already become mere puppets of globalisation, he said.

The inaugural session was followed by sessions on `Women empowerment and higher education' and `Privatisation of the common properties of higher education'.

The AKPCTA State vice-president, M.P. Jayalakshmi, Rajan Varghese, A.P. Kuttikrishnan, M.C. Balaram and Pramod Vellachal spoke at the function.
