Trivandrum: Kerala University will soon introduce the school system in the teaching departments .This umbrella system will help in the sharing of resources and provides a platform for interdisciplinary studies and research, said Vice Chancellor Dr.A.Jayakrishnan.

            According to Dr.Jayakrishnan the new system will create a synergy between the scattered departments and the human resources can be used to the maximum. It is a better approach for enhancing the academic standards. He said that although there had been oppositions, the senate has approved the proposal and it is sent to the Governor for final approval. He added that there won’t be any additional financial support from the UGC for the introduction of schools, but we are more likely to get grants once these schools become active. Due to the infrastructural shortage no new innovative courses will be introduced in the school system soon. ‘Our priority is to strengthen the present academic programmes’, Dr.Jayakrishnan said.

            The proposed schools will be headed by a Director or a Dean, appointed by the University. The different departments under the school can continue to function separately, but there will be a single administrative unit. The facilities too have to be shared among the departments. The new system will facilitate collaborative research projects, Dr. Jayakrishnan hoped.
