NEW DELHI: The Central University of Haryana has prepared a roadmap for the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in a phased manner. The university also plans to adopt a blended-learning mode, combining online and offline instruction, once the regulator, University Grants Commission (UGC) and the education ministry give a go-ahead for it.
During a recent meeting of CUH Vice-Chancellor, RC Kuhad, with deans and heads of department to review the status of curricular reforms carried out by the academic departments, the official agreed upon implementing the NEP from the upcoming academic session.
There is also a general consensus on the adoption of blended learning, recently proposed by the UGC which will allow 40% of the course component to be taught online for each programme. A CUH official said: “We are ready, as soon as we get the approval of the UGC and ministry we will start teaching in blended mode.”
