Educationists decried that the New Education Policy - 2020 brought in by the Centre “encourages private universities at the cost of the State-run higher education institutions.”
Kick-starting the discussion on the education policy, at a seminar organised by the CPI(M), Progressive Democratic Front MLC K.S. Lakshmana Rao said that students were getting distanced from education, thanks to the exorbitant fees charged by private educational institutions which are failing to provide quality education even as the State-run universities were starved of funds.
