Over 150 Students, Teachers Join 50-Day Nationwide Campaign Against NEP, Call For Rollback -Abhishek Hari

-TheWire.in

The campaign emphasised how the proposed NEP will result in budget cuts, elimination of reservations for the marginalised, fee hikes and a further rise of contractualisation and privatisation in higher education.

New Delhi: More than 150 students, teachers and eminent public personalities on December 24 attended a nationwide 50-day campaign against the National Education Policy (NEP) at the Press Club of India (PCI) in the national capital.

The PCI conference emphasised how the proposed NEP will result in reduced spending, elimination of reservations for the marginalised, fee hikes and a further rise of contractualisation and privatisation in higher education. The policy seeks to violate the fundamental right to affordable, high quality public education, which shall lead to the exclusion of the lower and middle classes from higher education, speakers said.

Author and historian Syed Irfan Habib stressed upon the issue of “saffronisation” of education while emphasising on the need for a strong movement, such as the recently concluded farmers’ protests against the three agricultural laws, for rolling back the NEP.

He said, “This government and NEP seek to saffronise our whole culture and our daily lives…It is unfortunate that after 70 years of independence, we have come back to the same issues on which we started.”
