Daily Excelsior publishes an opinion piece urging a comprehensive reshaping of higher education in Jammu & Kashmir to address systemic shortcomings.
Daily Excelsior recently ran an opinion piece titled 'Why Higher Education in J&K must be reshaped', arguing that the region’s universities and colleges face significant challenges that hinder academic progress.
The article highlights that outdated curricula, limited research facilities, and fragmented governance structures have left many institutions unable to meet national and global standards.
It calls on policymakers, educational leaders, and stakeholders to undertake a comprehensive review of the higher‑education system, focusing on curriculum modernization, infrastructure development, and stronger oversight mechanisms.
The piece concludes that without decisive reforms, Jammu & Kashmir risks falling further behind in producing skilled graduates and innovative research.
