Prof. Srinivasa S. Balli, Vice-Chancellor, Nrupatunga Cluster University, Bengaluru has extended support to National Education Policy (NEP), 2020.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced that Karnataka would scrap implementation of NEP-2020 from the coming academic year, and a committee would be formed to frame a Karnataka State Education Policy.
In a letter to the Higher Education Minister and the Karnataka State Higher Education Council, Prof. Balli said NEP-2020 gives importance to education in mother tongue, while continuing the three-language policy. “The freedom to choose another language, along with Kannada, has been given to students,” he said.
