Since 70 per cent jobs were available for those having qualified secondary education, Director of Centre for Policy Research in Higher Education (CPRHE) N.V. Verghese underlined the importance of creating a non-university education sector in the country by designing industry-oriented courses.
He told students at a seminar organised by Department of Economics of Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) on the theme of Issues and Challenges of Higher Education in Newly-Formed States here on Thursday, Prof. Varghese threw light on how to improve employability among students in higher education.
He said the non-university sector must offer specific courses that would be useful for using the human resources regionally so that students and locality benefit from each other.
