The varsity teachers from DU are on a strike, due to the implementation of the National Education Policy by the University authorities.
This new policy was approved by the standing committee that handles the academic involvements. Which is to be implicated from the year 2022-23. This policy introduces a four-year undergraduate programme along with the facilitation of multiple entries and exit options for students. The organisation talked about introducing Massive Open Online courses which shall be discussed further in the meeting on Tuesday.
A 42 member high powered committee was formulated by the university to control the matters of the NEP. The committee suggests continuing the three-year programmes along with attribution of the four-year degree programme and also to structurise one year and two-year postgraduate programmes. Which was set to be agreed upon in the meeting.
The committee also said “the quality of the degree conferred by the university should not be compromised”, therefore the “existing structure and workload should continue along with the addition of various courses”.
