New Education Policy emphasizes on learning: Director IIIT, Prayagraj

PRAYAGRAJ 10 February, (HS): A large-size multi-faceted institute will be established in each district by the year 2030 as part of the new education policy. With a creative combination of subjects, state-of-the-art courses, flexible options and multiple entry and exit options will allow students to research in their areas of interest and foster curiosity. This view was expressed by Dr. Anil Kothari, Secretary,  Shikhska Sanskriti Utthan Nayas, New Delhi, on symposium “New Education Policy” on Wednesday at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Prayagraj.

He expressed various aspects of the new education policy and their implementation. He said that he said that after independence, the Indian education system had taken root.

The National Education Policy -2020 considers the education system in the country in a holistic manner and an education system in which students can get education in the subject of their choice. He said that fees from students should be based on credit. There should be a system to collect the same amount of credits from the student as the institution will take admission in the course of credit.

Students should be admitted to the course and not to the full program. Institutions will have to give special emphasis on training of teachers for multiple choice teaching. While the student will ask questions in the classroom with interdisciplinary knowledge, considering each topic in totality, not just from the perspective of that subject, teachers will need to learn the latest teaching method, knowledge and techniques to satisfy that curiosity. He said that in order to establish a system of multiple choice teaching, the institutions will have to make necessary changes in their rules. Such as credit transfer, entry-exit, fee related, etc. The major problem of the current education sector in multivariate teaching – will also provide solutions to the ineligible degree holder for employment, which will also benefit the industries. With the new education system, such students will be prepared, who will get holistic education along with practical knowledge as well as skill teaching, if not only booklet knowledge. Moving in this direction will enable India to achieve the goal of self-reliance.

Prof. P. Nagabhushan, Director of IIIT, Prayagraj, described India’s new education policy as a positive change. He said that before the implementation of the new education policy in IIIT-A, many of its provisions have already been implemented successfully. Now students are being emphasized on learning rather than the traditional examination system. Dr. Nitesh Purohit, Program Coordinator elaborated on how the curriculum developed by IIIT-A can be implemented in other institutions in the country.

Dr. Sanjay Deshmukh, former Vice Chancellor, University of Bombay said that 55 percent of the population of the country belongs to people below the age of 35 years, who can give the country the supremacy of the world by the field of education which are included in the basic basis of the new education policy .
