North Eastern Hill University VC Prabha Shankar Shukla said no affiliated colleges have intimated any difficulty in implementing the 4-year UG courses.
SHILLONG: North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) Vice-Chancellor Prabha Shankar Shukla on Tuesday claimed that principals of 75 colleges affiliated with the university were satisfied with the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020.
He also claimed that none of the principals of the affiliated colleges have officially intimated any difficulty in implementing the four-year undergraduate courses in their respective colleges. His statement came in the wake of the state college teachers' umbrella organisation the Meghalaya College Teachers Association's (MCTA) ongoing 'non-cooperation' movement demanding the rollback of the policy.
"A meeting with principals of all affiliated colleges was held on July 21, 2023. Majority of college principals said they are satisfied with the move (to implement the NEP 2020)," the NEHU vice-chancellor said in a statement. He said the university has not received any letter from any of the principals of affiliated college intimating their difficulty in implementing the NEP 2020 in respect of the four-year undergraduate courses.
NEHU VC refutes allegation of teachers' body
Shukla refuted the MCTA's allegation that the NEP 2020 policy was implemented in a "dictatorial" manner in July this year without "consulting all stakeholders". The Academic Council had in September 2020 discussed and constituted a task force following which the executive council had in October that year adopted the same, the university informed through a statement.
It added that the university has implemented the NEP 2020 for its PG courses since last year. MCTA secretary Airpeace Rani who is among the delegation that met the NEHU VC on Monday said the teachers were "not satisfied" with the outcome of the meeting and that the "non-cooperation" movement of the college teachers will continue until the matter is resolved in the next academic council meeting. The next academic council meeting is due to be held by late October or early November this year, NEHU officials said.
