Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist):The Narendra Modi government at the Center can approve the new education policy in a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. This means that there will be only one regulatory body for the entire higher education sector so that clutter in the education sector can be eliminated. Information will be given by the government on Wednesday at 4 pm.
The Ministry of Human Resource Development has also proposed that the current name of the ministry be changed to the Ministry of Education. It can be decided in the cabinet meeting.
The Ministry of Human Resource Development is preparing to merge the UGC and AICTE together. From this a regulatory body will be made and the existing regulatory body will be fitted in a new role. National Higher Education Regulatory Authority will be constituted for the entire higher education.
A big change can be made in the new education policy regarding board examinations. According to the students, there can be freedom to choose the course. Special attention will be paid to skill. The biggest change can be made in the examination methods. It may happen that students get a chance for exam two or three times a year so that they can save themselves from the pressure. A semester system may be advised instead of a board examination.
In this meeting, emphasis can be laid on changes in the RTE Act and regional languages.
