FYUGP and the opportunities ahead

The new National Educational Policy (NEP 2020) document in its section on Higher Education recommends the introduction of four-year honour’s undergraduate program (FYUGP) with or without research, one year or a two-year PG program with inclusion of one-year exclusive research (for a two-year PG program), replacement of choice-based credit system (CBCS) with National Credit Framework (NCF) at UG and PG level in higher educational institutions (HEIs), and shift from existing high-stakes examinations towards more continuous and comprehensive evaluation during the course of a program.

Those ten years of learning with a diversity of teachers carved a strong relationship between the teacher and the taught.  The first recollection about this school are the old and draggled class rooms with clay plastered cracked walls, an easel and a blackboard, an old cloth saturated with chalk dust, a single wiggling teacher’s chair (often with sunkseat) and rough and dust-covered coir floor mats (would always tamper the uniform at buttocks)was the ultimate infrastructure available albeit academic competence and pedagogy of able teachers finely carved the school to be remembered as the cherished almamater.
