Government To Set Up Training Institutes For College And University Professors

State Minister of Education and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray stated that the syllabus of schools will now be more job-centric. What this necessarily means is that the practical experience and real experience will get more weightage. Furthermore, Minister of Higher and Technical Education Uday Samant recently proposed a training institute for college and university professors. Chief Minister Uddhav Thavckeray has approved the proposal for the same. 

The training institute is likely to be set in Pune wherein teachers will be provided professional training and also be updated about the change in the syllabus according to the trends in the industry and economy. The state government will hold 40 per cent stakes, 5 per cent by Maharashtra State Board for Technical Education, 40 per cent stake by all universities in Maharashtra, 5 per cent by educational institutes and industries and 10 per cent by non-government and professional organisations in the proposed institute.
