The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|February 06, 2025
THE University Grants Commission's (UGC) growing influence over education policies, from primary to higher education, is a cause for concern.
Many of the proposals from the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which aimed to strengthen regional languages and cultures, have now been contradicted by the new UGC draft regulations, Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara said.
He was speaking at the Higher Education Ministers' Conclave, where ministers from six states including Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Jharkhand, participated to oppose the UGC's draft regulations.
Parameshwara questioned why states were not given the freedom to shape their education policies to reflect their regional priorities and culture.
