Imphal, July 26 2023:
Manipur University vice chancellor professor Naorem Lokendro has disclosed that the varsity has successfully implemented National Education Policy (NEP) -2020 from the academic session 2021-22 .
Professor Lokendro disclosed this during one-day interaction programme on NEP-2020 held at court hall of Manipuri department of the varsity on Wednesday.
During the interaction programme, professor Lokendro said NEP-2020 was introduced after education policy followed since the British period could not provide nationwide education system commensurate with the time.
While the earlier education policy restricted a researcher to become teacher in the chosen subject, the NEP-2020 provides five years integrated course and each paper has skill based subject thereby providing much scope to students.
Unlike the past education system which mainly concentrates on theory, the NEP-2020 gives more emphasis on practical, flexibility, field experiment and skills thereby giving more values to students.
The new education policy opens academic bank of credit for every student thereby allowing them easy transfer from one college to another and ensures more benefits.
The interaction programme was also participated by dean of school humanity professor Nahakpam Aruna as guest of honour and Manipuri department head professor Toijam Tampha as president.
