Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan said on Monday that his government aims to make the state a global education destination by establishing premier centres of excellence that attract both local and international students.
Inaugurating the state-level Pravesanolsavam (school reopening festival) at the Government Model Higher Secondary School in Pattom, Satheesan said his government’s aim is to make Kerala a destination point for education, to bring premier educational institutions directly to Kerala so that local students do not feel forced to migrate overseas for high-quality higher education.
