Even after 45 days into the new academic session, at least 22 of the 75 colleges affiliated with the North Eastern Hill University in Meghalaya are yet to shift to the 4-year undergraduate course with the teachers' union actively protesting the university's push for the course, officials said on August 29.
Meghalaya Teachers' College Association (MCTA) general secretary Dr. Airpeace W. Rani informed that 22 colleges affiliated to the university are boycotting the first semester classes and not undertaking any assignments under the new policy.
The association has petitioned vice-chancellor Prof PS Shukla to withdraw the July 12 notification mandating the implementation of NEP 2020 across all affiliated colleges.
