The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 seems to favour a model of privatisation and exclusivity that would deeply widen India’s existing inequalities.

On August 24, Delhi University witnessed a vehement protest by the Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) outside the Vice Chancellor’s office. Inside, the academic council was meeting to reinstate the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) model (which was earlier scrapped in 2013), in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This meeting was crucial because it would serve as a precedent for educational institutions all over the country to execute the policy.

The FYUP model provides for multiple entry and exit options in a four-year undergraduate degree and imposes an additional year of expenditure for a programme that can otherwise be completed in three years. Leaving the four-year programme midway is shrouded in the euphemism of “certification” of one year, a diploma of two years and so on. The implementation of this model in accordance with NEP 2020 also implies more contractual positions for teachers and shrinking of public expenditure on education.
