Hyderabad, Velang The National Education Policy-2020 (NEP) implementation effort has been launched by the state government. A portion of the policy is anticipated to be put into effect. It has nearly agreed to lift the “inter” education system starting in the following year as part of this. In the state, elementary and intermediate education are currently provided separately. The Board of Intermediate will no longer exist and will become a part of school instruction if the new system is implemented. This will lessen the financial strain on the government and facilitate monitoring. However, it is possible to check the corporate inter colleges, which have turned into a hotbed of exploitation. The subcommittee on cabinet education has recently directed the authorities to of the education department to provide an in-depth analysis of the advantages of implementing NEP-2020. In 2020, the national government introduced a new education strategy that included numerous improvements and modifications to the existing education system in place throughout the nation. Many states, including those run by the Bharatiya Janata Party, have adopted it. Telangana is one of the seven states that is not yet using NEP-2020. With this directive, the Center is pressuring the corresponding states to enact NEP laws pertaining to higher education and public education. Talks about NEP once more
During the most recent cabinet subcommittee meeting on education, the implementation of NEP was also covered. Despite being brought in 2020, officials informed the committee that the Center is still not putting it into practice in our state. The Education Secretary was instructed by the Cabinet Sub-Committee to provide a report that weighed the benefits and drawbacks of implementing the NEP. It is recommended that educators, lecturers, professors, academics, non-governmental organizations, managements, etc. get together and revisit the topic. On the other hand, during the previous BRS government, the Higher Education Council led a lot of discussions over the adoption of NEP. At that time, the government also received a report. However, the previous BRS administration made no choices regarding
Inclination to lift Inter..
The current educational system in the state is 5+2+3+2 (primary through 5, upper primary through 7, high school through 10, then inter). The center recommends using the 5+3+3+4 method, which covers upper primary through grade 8 and secondary education through grade 9. Anganwadi, three years of preschool, and one and two courses make up the first five years. The following three years consist of 3, 4, 5, and 6 classes, respectively. There have been classes 9, 10, 11, and 12 under secondary education for the past four years. But the way our state currently runs schools and intermediate education is different. In particular, the inter will no longer exist if the new system is put into place. everywhere save for AP and Telangana,Inter education is referred to as secondary education in Telangana. Conversely, there are only 420 Government Colleges under the Inter Commissionerate, and up to 600 Junior Colleges (KGBV, Model Schools) are currently operating under the purview of school education. Officials recommend integrating intereducation into school instruction in this particular circumstance. The government had previously received a report from the officials stating that this would facilitate monitoring, lessen the financial strain on the government, and provide a chance to examine corporate intercolleges. Following the NEP discussion, scholars have recently argued that lifting the inter system would be preferable.
Teaching in mother tongue
The administration has been encouraged by authorities in the education department to execute the non-controversial parts of the NEP first. The condition that the arends be filled in order to join the first class has already been established by the national government. All of the nation’s central educational institutions, including Kendriya Vidyalaya, Navodaya, and schools using the CBSE curriculum, are following this regulation. However, admission to the state’s state syllabus schools is only available once five years have passed. Authorities indicate that Arendt’s proposal for Joyful Learning won’t pose any problems. It is stated that there may be an issue with age during the national competitive tests if it is not adopted. Furthermore, it appears that the government is also in favor of teaching up to the fifth standard in the native tongue or local language. The education system will be introduced starting with the sixth standard if this system is put into place. According to officers, the lifting of intermediate has already received approval from the government.
Already in higher education.
In higher education, the NEP implementation process has already begun. The state is introducing a four-year program called the honors degree. The implementation of multiple entry and multiple exit in engineering was also previously announced by JNTU officials. The bucket system and CBCS policy are also being put into practice. The MPhil course has vanished from the state’s universities along with its termination. On the other hand, central universities also offer entrance and admission at the national level.
Conclusion
The Telangana state government has initiated efforts to implement the National Education Policy-2020 (NEP), with a focus on integrating intermediate education into school instruction. This move aims to reduce the financial burden on the government, facilitate monitoring, and curb exploitation in corporate inter colleges. The government has been directed to provide an in-depth analysis of the benefits of implementing NEP-2020, which includes a new education system structure of 5+3+3+4, replacing the current 5+2+3+2 system.
The implementation of NEP-2020 is expected to bring about significant changes in the education system, including the abolition of the Board of Intermediate and the introduction of teaching in the mother tongue or local language up to the fifth standard. The government has already begun implementing NEP in higher education, with the introduction of a four-year honors degree program, multiple entry and exit options in engineering, and the bucket system and CBCS policy.
