Reality of Women in Higher Education
At the recent graduation ceremony of salem Periyar university, tamil Nadu Higher education minister K. Ponmudi noted that at the university named after Periyar, more women than men have gotten doctorates and that this is a victory for Periyar, Anna, and karunanidhi for equal rights.
On the same day that the minister praised the Dravidian movement for expanding the number of women in research courses, the government announced a six-month honorarium for 2,423 honorary lecturers accepted to government colleges for the current academic year. Only when the december government is released is the package for the months of october and november released. The reality is that the government and the Department of Higher Education's reward for women's achievements in higher education is to make them honorary lecturers and wait for the results to be compiled.
There is no doubting that successive Dravidian parties in tamil Nadu have succeeded in delivering education to people from all walks of life. Economists note out, however, that more than half of tamil Nadu's highly educated rely on informal employment, and the great majority are unable to take advantage of social security programs. They blame the poor educational environment that has prevailed in tamil Nadu for the past three decades for both informal employment and wage inequality. One of the key causes for the inadequate educational environment is that teachers with the proper educational qualifications are not appointed on a permanent basis in government higher education institutions.
There are insufficient options for those pursuing PhD degrees in tamil Nadu who are interested in research courses to continue their studies. The number of private research institutes is also quite small. teachers in government and private educational institutions are generally the front-runners for research degree holders. government colleges, on the other hand, are generally managed by honorary lecturers, which has become an unspoken law.
