#Deeper issue
The dwindling interest in degree courses among admission seekers in Kerala colleges has become a cause for concern, not just for educators and management but for the future of higher education in the state. The loss of allure in pursuing degree programs reflects a deeper issue within the education system, where traditional pathways are no longer seen as lucrative or relevant in today's rapidly evolving job market. This trend signals a potential crisis for colleges, as they struggle to attract students and maintain their academic standards.
Furthermore, the desperation of teachers and management is palpable as they grapple with the repercussions of low admission rates. In a bid to salvage enrollment numbers, many colleges have resorted to unsightly and substandard advertisements, further tarnishing their reputation and credibility. If this trend persists, colleges in Kerala face a grim fate, where they may struggle to sustain themselves financially and academically This would ultimately jeopardize the future of higher education in the state. Urgent intervention and innovative strategies are imperative to reverse this downward spiral and reignite interest in pursuing degree courses in Kerala colleges.
