At first glance, the presented structure of the new education policy is very revolutionary. According to old, till now we used to teach up to BA according to 'ten plus two plus three', but under the new education policy, there is a system of 'five plus three plus three plus four'. This reduces the burden of pre-nursery children. In this, there is a system of teaching everyone in their mother tongue until the fifth.
Along with the teaching of traditional skills, the secondary has given extensive 'Choice' in many subjects. Now the graduate course will be for four years, which will be of a global level, with interdisciplinary flexibility at every level. Students will have the freedom to choose subjects of their choice.
Whether a music student wants to study mathematics or science, he can also study art craft along with science. BA degree can be taken after completing the first three years. If someone leaves after studying for a year or two, then he can come back for a period and complete his degree.
This flexibility between 'admission' and 'leaving' is in the interest of the students. The fourth year of the four-year undergraduate course proposed in the new education policy is a very revolutionary idea. It emphasizes interdisciplinary and applied education and 'quality-research'. After that students without M.Phil. Ph.D. I will be able to go
This education policy in its form and content is almost the same as that implemented by the University of Delhi in the years 2012-13-14 and was named FYUP i.e. four year BA. But then some left-wing teacher organizations, inspired by the vested interests, opposed it and the new-found BJP government at the Center also protested and that successful experiment was strangled untimely.
There will also be opposition, but we hope that the government will not back down. This is probably the first time that this policy has not come out of any BJP imprint thinktank, but K.K. Is made up of intellectuals like Kasturirangan, who is confirmed by two lakh feedbacks. Anyone who is dissatisfied with today's rooted and dying education world will welcome it because even if there is a BJP to implement it, it is conceived by Kasturirangan who is not of BJP.
This education policy identifies contemporary digital and technological changes and combines education with them. Utilizing the digital revolution, making new innovations possible with knowledge and technology, making a place in the highly competitive global world of knowledge, emphasizing interdisciplinary learning and encouraging research according to social needs, as well as promoting skill development It has some very original and bright points. With this, the structure of their education becomes absolutely world-class. It emphasizes the interplay between life experience and theoretical knowledge.
Till now we used to read four to five subjects till higher secondary, but M.A. Till then, they used to get locked in the tunnel of any one subject. Physics had nothing to do with chemistry, history had no meaning with geography. Similarly, people with literary arts avoided science and science literature considered art as entertaining and hey.
The commerce man considered music inferior and the IT person considered literature useless. Now this will not happen. Now all subjects will complement each other and become friends. Today, the price of a multi-tasker using 'multi-purpose' instead of a single individual personality. This is the postmodern era of education. Globalization and the technological revolution have broken the arch walls of knowledge. Knowledge of one subject has become insufficient and the thirst for multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge has increased. Today there is no salvation without interdisciplinary knowledge and research.
This policy makes it possible for the first time and gives an opportunity to make India lagging behind in the field of knowledge. Universities like Nalanda and Taxila in the past were known for interdisciplinary knowledge and research in their time. We have returned to our land after a long time. It is welcome.
But the experience of good universities in the world also suggests that this policy can only be fruitful if its educational institutions are 'autonomous' and adequately 'funded'. And this is the weakest link in this policy.
There is an emphasis on the complete privatization of education, whereas education in a poor country like ours can still be successful only with adequate government funding. Private sector educational institutions are meant only for the rich, while such a new education policy is most needed by the poor. Thus, this education policy takes care of them, but what will be done without funding?
This policy enforces the American model with some manipulation but forgets that private universities in the US are not like a grocery shop, but rather high knowledge bases with large corporate funds, where talent is honorably appointed Are done and they are given complete freedom of work.
Look at the 'self-funded colleges' here, who always believe in high-fire and pay half the salary to the teacher by signing the entire salary. What education policy does to stop this, it has to be seen. Under this policy, hundred well-known foreign universities will be able to open their campuses here and students can take American or British degrees sitting here.
Maybe, in this competition we will learn something too, but it goes the opposite of our 'self-reliant' slogan of India. There are many such jokes in the new education policy, which may appear in the coming days, but despite these jhols, the freshness of the policy is welcome!
