“Only the people who have money will get admission in professional colleges”

THENI: The State government’s higher education policy, including creation of private universities, will ultimately make higher education inaccessible to the poor. Only the people who have money will get admission in professional colleges, according to S. Ramadoss, Pattali Makkal Katchi founder.
To assess real benefits enjoyed by students, the Department of Higher Education should conduct a survey of number of Tamil students admitted to private professional colleges, Dr. Ramadoss told reporters here on Thursday.
Number of students pursuing higher education at national level was 12.4 per cent whereas it was just 6.4 per cent in the State, Dr. Ramadoss claimed.
Despite over 350 professional colleges in the State, condition of higher education was very pathetic. Eighty per cent of students admitted to self-financing professional colleges were from other States.
Theni district had neither government engineering college nor an arts college for women. Several girls had discontinued education after higher secondary. The government should start a women’s college immediately, he said. Condemning acute power crisis, he said the PMK would stage demonstration before district and taluk headquarters on September 16 demanding resignation of Electricity Minister Arcot N. Veeraswami.
