NEP will be implemented in State from next year: C. N. Ashwath Narayan

Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister C. N. Ashwath Narayan has said that the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 will be implemented in Karnataka from next year.

Addressing a virtual gathering after inaugurating the 41st Foundation Day of Mangaluru University on Sunday, he released a video series on the NEP 2020 in Kannada produced by Prof Karunakar A Kotegar, Mangalore University syndicate member.

The DCM said that the Cabinet approved the report on NEP 2020 submitted by the task force constituted by the State government for implementation of the policy. "The structural and administrative reforms needed for the implementation of NEP will be taken up. Universities are the places where knowledge can be restructured and reorganized into a coherent whole and where workplace learning is designed and analyzed. Universities have to convert into lifelong learning institutions and also engage in community service programmes," he added.

Mr Narayan assured the help from the State government in implementing NEP and added that sustainable development is possible only through education.
