‘Planning board formed to make education accessible for all’
Probably nowhere in the country do we have a separate planning board for higher education as the one the A.P. government has formed, to improve coordination among institutes of higher education and universities and to better the prospects of research through exchange, said State Education Minister Adimulapu Suresh.
At the second meeting of the AP Higher Education Planning Board (APHEB) here on Saturday, he said about 30 Vice-Chancellors of various universities in the State and directors from the institutes of national importance such as IIM-Visakhapatnam, NIT, IIPE and IIT were attending the two-day meet.
The board was constituted to see that higher education improves in the State and education is accessible for all. “It is the dream of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to make good education accessible and affordable to all. The fruits of the board will roll out in two years from now. The suggestions from this meeting will guide us towards that goal,” he said.
