The AIADMK’s general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Saturday slammed the DMK regime for seeking to introduce a common syllabus for universities, “in haste.”
Referring to concerns expressed by educationists against the move, Mr. Palaniswami, in a statement, said academicians were of the view that the common syllabus would not only lower the standards of education but also lead to the universities losing their autonomy. He advised the government to hold discussions with non-partisan and genuine educationists before attempting to implement such a policy on higher education.
