The education sector has been given some new policies of setting of an testing agency which will conduct all the entrance examination which was earlier conducted by CBSE and AICTE.
The CBSE is not entitled to conduct these entrance exams now NTA will conduct all entrance examinations related to pre-medical , JEE and other allied entrance tests.
“It is expected that NTA will provide better facilities to the millions of youths who are going to appear in the examinations,” the director said.
The second policy in the sector of education is the university grants commission (UGC) will undergo some reforms and the colleges will be given autonomy
According to me it should be given on the accreditation which is provided by NAAC. which is a part of UGC.
“UGC has been a big failure from last few decades as it has not been mint for higher education . After independence it was set up to provide financial assistance to colleges and universities and it is going beyond this and trying to regulate rigid frame work and rule to colleges and universities,” he added.
70% of higher education is being handled by private colleges and universities.
“UGC has been always come under corruption and subjectivity issues,“he further added.
In the favour of school education there has been two announcements. The first one is government will invest on creating and developing innovation activities and the second one is that the school education will lead to oriented based learning.
