What cannot be moulded in this age will never get done after 20 years. Hence it is very important for the educational institutions to increase the quantity and improve the quality, Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudi, said here recently. Speaking at the 82nd Founders’ Day of the PSG and Sons’ Charities organised at the PSG College of Arts and Science, he underlined the importance of new teaching methods to keep up with the times. “More than learning at an educational institution, it is important to learn where you work. That is true learning. Opportunities are galore today. Education should be in co-relation with the changing times. We should always be improving because we have to compete on a global basis. Infrastructure and teaching methods should be made strong and teachers should be fortified with the required qualification and teaching methodologies,” the Minister said.
Listing out the facilities being provided by the State Government for the improvement of higher education, he said that in spite of all these, improvement of education was in the hands of the management of the institutions. An MBA in hospital management to be offered by the Tamil Nadu Open University in association with PSG Hospitals was launched by Mr. Ponmudi.
