HYDERABAD: The University of Hyderabad (UoH) is all set to implement new initiatives under the National Education Policy (NEP) from the next academic year (2022-23) following its decision to constitute a committee to devise a roadmap.
The UoH has recently constituted a 13-member committee, headed by Prof Vinod Pavarala from the school of communications, on implementation of the NEP 2020. The committee has been given a brief to formulate a detailed roadmap for phase-wise implementation of NEP and work with all schools, departments and centres at the university to put together new programmes and corresponding structures where necessary.
Setting the target of March 15 for bringing all such new initiatives to the academic council of the university for approval, UoH vice-chancellor professor BJ Rao announced that they would be implemented in the 2022-2023 academic year.
At a meeting with heads and deans of the university, Rao had shared the university’s resolve to implement the NEP with all its key features for higher education, including multiple entry/exit options, more short-term programmes, mobility of credits across institutions, and enhanced internationalisation.
“This would be done to the extent possible without disturbing the academic integrity of the institution and by incorporating the flexibility and autonomy offered by NEP to take the UoH to the next level,” the vice-chancellor said.
