Higher Education Minister R. Bindu has voiced her disapproval towards the University Grants Commission (UGC)’s move to encourage blended learning in higher education institutions. Speaking to The Hindu, Dr. Bindu said the proposal, despite being touted to boost flexibility, could exacerbate the digital divide that existed in the country. “We still have not been able to plug the gulf between the have-nots and haves with regard to access of ICT devices and internet connectivity. The move to switch over to online learning in a big way will marginalise the disadvantaged sections even further,” she said.More Related News
