Plans to revamp science teaching
Amutha Kannan
COIMBATORE: Bharathiar University Vice-Chancellor G. Thiruvasagam has come up with a slew of reform proposals in order to revamp teaching of, and the syllabi for, pure science courses in the university and its affiliated colleges.
This is in response to the recommendations on “attracting more students to maths and science” submitted by the National Knowledge Commission to the Prime Minister on May 2.
It has recommended setting up of a ‘Science and Mathematics Mission’ to counter the growing tendency among talented students to pursue studies in areas other than mathematics and basic sciences.
Master plan
The Mission is expected to draw up a master plan running to five to 10 years for science and mathematics training and research.
The Commission, chaired by Sam Pitroda, undertook a study to identify the causes behind the growing alienation of students from careers in mathematics and pure sciences. It has recommended that apart from massive financial investment, a systematic and innovative approach is needed to make a significant impact on the pattern of choices made by talented youth.
