Minister for Higher Education M.C. Sudhakar has said that the State government will implement the State education policy in the next academic year.
Speaking to presspersons in Arsikere in Hassan district on Wednesday, he said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had announced to do away with the National Education Policy in the Budget. It was implemented last year without preparations.
“The number of students joining courses has come down since the NEP came into effect. It had many loopholes. Particularly, students in rural areas suffered because of the new policy. Hence, we are coming up with our own policy. The State’s policy will address the needs of all sections of society,” Mr. Sudhakar said.
