CEC Advocates Technology-Infused University Education Reform
Prof. Parikshat Singh Manhas, director of the Consortium for Educational Communication, urged integrating technology, innovation and interdisciplinary learning at a two-day seminar co-organised with the University of Mysore on March 16, 2026. He highlighted AI, AR/VR, data analytics, and employability gaps, outlined a five-vowel learner framework and noted CEC’s eight online degree programmes, calling for mentorship and self-directed study to better align graduates with industry needs.
Key Points
- 1Announces CEC seminar promoting AI, AR/VR, interdisciplinary learning and eight online degree programmes
- 2Explains mismatch between academic training and industry causing graduate unemployment, urging employable skill alignment
- 3Recommends educators and institutions adopt tech, mentorship, and self-directed learning to enhance employability
Scoring Rationale
Official seminar announcements and program launches boost practical relevance; limited innovation and primarily local coverage constrain wider impact.
