POLICY DOCUMENT ON QUALITY EDUCATION

Access to education is the most important fundamental right guaranteed under our Constitution and Article 21 A of the Constitution of India guarantees free and compulsory education to all the citizens. The enhanced quality of life depends on the education received by a person. That is why all educational systems emphasizes on improving the quality of life of a person.

With this aim in mind, The BS Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology (Crescent University) has made a distinct mark in the field of education and research. It imparts and follows an educational system which not only provides for a living but for an improved quality of life. The various departments are headed by Heads and Teachers with high profile educational qualifications who impart value based education which aids a person to put into use what he has learnt from the institution and thereby lead a good life. The teachers not only teach pure academics but also imparts life skills. They understand the needs of different types of students, such as slow learners, some more oriented towards sports and cultural activities, some more interested in research, some coming from socially and educationally backward classes, some from the upper class. The Crescent University strives to coordinate these students and take them forward as a one big group. It also aims at inclusive education in the sense that students from different economic, social, geographical and cultural differences are admitted in one campus and treated alike. The University’s student community is spread from all over the world and it takes pride in providing inclusive education despite the differences.

Every effort has been made by the University to accommodate people from the local community. The University partakes in different activities organized by the local community and goes out to spread awareness on various issues related to the development of the local community as a whole. The various departments conduct awareness campaigns on the necessity of educating the children. A great emphasis is laid on the early years of education, the formative stage of a person’s life, which determines his personality at a later stage. The Crescent School which is located within the University campus supports the primary, kindergarten and lower primary classes and standard education is imparted to the children to enable them to become better citizens of tomorrow.

The economic growth of a country depends on a well planned and well organized class of citizens who by their wise and well informed financial decisions helps to promote the growth of our country. In order to make this wise and well informed decisions, the students should be given a class of education which helps them to not alone analyze the economy and plan accordingly but also pay their taxes regularly. Each student is educated about his duty towards the country and how responsible citizenary would reflect on the growth of the country.

There is no discrimination or inequality in the system of education imparted by us and all the classes of students are given the privileges and preferences which are owed to them under the Constitution and various .other legislations. The University tries to build a fair and sustainable world where every person is provided with equal opportunity to realise his potential to the fullest.

The University has a placement cell which enables the students who have successfully completed their courses to find employment. This provides job security to students as the employers come in through the University so their credentials are checked before the students get employed. The Placement Cell consists of a team which thoroughly investigates into the goodwill of the employer.
