Karnataka Higher Education Minister said that government will ensure implementation of NEP in the next 20 months.
On Tuesday, Karnataka's Higher Education Minister, Dr C N Ashwath Narayan stated that the government is ready to take maximum efforts in the next twenty months towards the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020. Narayan shared his thoughts during the inauguration of a seminar on NEP which was jointly organized by Maharani Women’s Science College (autonomous), Maharani Arts College, and Maharani Women’s Commerce and Management college.
Narayan said, "the Union government has set a timeline of 15 years for the implementation of NEP. However, the state government has decided to facilitate its implementation in a speedy manner. The government will make all efforts in the next 20 months to ensure maximum coverage."
Further he added, "To start with, this could be implemented within the available subjects in colleges and could consider adding more subjects in the following years to come."
He also said, "Universities, colleges, private institutions, and faculty have welcomed NEP and are eager to implement NEP. However, the opposition leaders are finding it difficult to digest the positive response pouring in favour of the policy. They don’t want good to happen either for students or the country."
