University teachers and students criticise National Education Policy -Basant Kumar Mohanty

UGC asks varsities to amend their rules to bring them in sync with the new system

A group of university teachers and students on Friday criticised the National Education Policy as a document designed to “corporatise” education through the “excessive” use of online content, saying it would take higher education beyond the reach of the poor and marginalised.

At a news conference, Delhi University teacher Nandita Narain highlighted NEP initiatives such as the permission to pursue up to 40 per cent of any programme through the Massive Open Online Courses, available on the government’s Swayam website.

The University Grants Commission has issued regulations to make this possible and written to the universities to amend their rules to bring them in sync with the new system.

Further, the commission has issued a regulation allowing a student of a particular university to pursue up to 50 per cent of her course from another university, either online or offline.
