NEP has revitalized, provided equal access to education: Telangana Governor
Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan said that that the 3-language policy will open new opportunities and broaden the horizons.
The National Education policy (NEP) is the need of the hour, it has revitalised the education system that was static. It has bridged the gap between education and development of children. The use of technology has provided a lifeline to education during the pandemic, and it has also exposed the need for a level playing field when it comes to accessing online education, said Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan, Governor of Telangana and Lt. Governor of Puducherry.
She added that the 3-language policy will open new opportunities and broaden the horizons for children. She added: “Nutrition is as important as education as a child cannot excel unless he or she is healthy.”
Speaking at the EduTech 100 Summit organised by ASSOCHAM Dr Soundararajan said: “Mental health of students is another important area where we need to work hard, we must support the children. The NEP has provisions that fills the gap as it aligns with the mind-set of the children, teachers and brings in much needed changes to make learning an enjoyable experience for the students along with enabling equal access to education.”
Prof. Rajive Kumar, Member Secretary, AICTE said, “NEP is in the process of being implemented, educational institutions can look at sharing their experiences and best practices. We should look at implementing NEP in its true spirit. Internationalisation of education is an important area where we can create the culture and develop facilities to attract more international students to our country. Books in various Indian languages have already been prepared and distributed to state governments for further distribution. This will help students in bridging the language gap. The National Curriculum Framework will integrate vocational education with mainstream education and enable seamless movement from one to the other. The credit framework has already been put up for public opinion and suggestions. In the implementation of NEP, there is a need for dynamic leadership so that important decision can be taken immediately as needed.”
