Over 77,000 feedback letters on draft National Education Policy
The HinduThe Human Resource Development Ministry has received more than 77,000 comments and letters on the draft National Education Policy, according to HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank. According to Ministry sources, the largest number of letters received so far — about a quarter of the total — came from a campaign opposing the draft NEP’s proposal to change school teacher recruitment norms. “Finally, in order to gauge passion and motivation for teaching, a classroom demonstration or interview will become an integral part of teacher hiring at schools and school complexes; these interviews would also be used to assess comfort and proficiency in teaching in the local language, so that every school / school complex has at least some teachers who can converse with students in the local language,” says the draft. The draft NEP’s recommendation to close down a large number of substandard teacher training institutes has also come under fire, given that local political interests are often involved in the management of these institutions, according to senior HRD Ministry officials.
