State secretary of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishat (ABVP) Manikanta Kalasa has said that the State government’s announcement on scrapping National Education Policy (NEP) to introduce State Education Policy (SEP) has more to do with politics rather than the interests of the student community.
Addressing presspersons along with associate secretary Shivani Shetty and Dharwad convenor Arun Amargol in Hubballi on Tuesday, Mr. Kalasa accused the State government of making the announcement for political reasons without actually assessing the merits and demerits of NEP which is still in the implementation stage.
“The NEP has been framed after elaborate consultation with education experts and various stakeholders. We are not saying everything is foolproof. But it is the responsibility of the State government to evaluate NEP before taking any decision on scrapping it. However, nothing of that sort has been done while announcing the decision to opt for SEP,” he said.
