New Delhi: The much-delayed new education policy of the Narendra Modi government is likely to be unveiled by the end of the month.
Though the BJP government had decided to provide a new course to the country’s education by bringing in a new policy as soon as it took office, the delay is understood to have saved it from another possible controversy during the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament.
The committee is headed by former bureaucrat T.S.R. Subramanian and has four other retired bureaucrats as members. The committee is likely to recommend changing the current system of recruitment of vice-chancellors, taking note of loopholes in the existing process for such appointments and past irregularities, and introduction of a “National Academic Services” for recruitment of teachers.
Some of the recommendations made by various Sangh affiliates are the establishment of a national language university for professional courses like medical and engineering, introducing the history of mathematics with emphasis on Indian contributions to mathematics and science.
