Mysuru: There have been extensive changes in society since the last Education Policy with regard to social, economic, industrial and cultural aspects, said Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Chairman of the Committee that prepared the National Education Policy 2019 Draft. Speaking at the symposium on ‘National Education Policy' at Rani Bahadur auditorium here this morning, he said increasing and ubiquitous usage of technology like internet and its dominance was not foreseen during the preparation of the last policy.
The journey of the NEP was interesting which involved a long process where discussions with educators, researchers, policy makers, sector experts, industry-academies, community groups were held and even citizens were engaged. Consultations with 70 organisations, institutions, associations, and 216 eminent individuals had begun from 2017 onwards, he revealed.
