Mangaluru, Aug 30: “Some people are saying that the government is trying to implement the National Education Policy (NEP) in haste. This is not correct. Lots of discussions have taken place in this regard. It is a myth that this policy is ‘saffronisation’ of the country. Let anyone show the points that are against the students in this policy. We will use the present subjects itself during the implementation of NEP. But the students have separate opportunity to choose the subjects,” said higher education minister Dr Ashwath Narayan.

Dr Narayan was speaking the Mangalore University on Monday August 30.

He further said, “Proper project was formed in order to implement NEP. This is being done to bring reform in the education sector. More options are given to students of Arts. Priority will be given to inter-discipline.

“If there is no changes in the education sector, it will like stagnant water. Our students have to compete at the global level. NEP will reform education from nursery school to highest education. This is proved worldwide. This is not against the students. In the coming years, there will be reforms in administrative side. Due to Covid there are some obstacles,” he said.
