While emphasising quality, access and future readiness to students of higher education in tune with the National Education Policy-2020, the department of higher education is pushing for reforms including multiple entry and exit options, introducing multidisciplinary courses at UG/PG level and collaborative research in universities.
The two-day conference of Vice-Chancellors in the State on ‘Implementation of NEP-2020’ at Acharya Nagarjuna University threw up interesting ideas.
“While the State is a frontrunner in the implementation of NEP-2020, the A.P. State Council for Higher Education is focused on further reforms to increase the employability of students. We will also strengthen universities making them stronger and autonomous,” said APSCHE Chairman K. Hemachandra Reddy.
