S. Rajashekhar, secretary, Desheeya Vidyashala Samithi, expressed concern over the decrease in admissions to degree colleges after the implementation of the new National Education Policy.
He was speaking at the inauguration of a one-day workshop on ‘NEP English Syllabi: Strategies of Teaching and Evaluation’ at DVS College in Shivamogga on Friday.
“Now many students are not showing interest in joining degree courses as it is now a four-year course. I am told students are joining engineering colleges. On the other hand, many engineering colleges are being closed. We should wonder where the students are going, even when the number of students clearing PUC has been increasing,” he said.
