The Hindu
‘Multiple options will help girl students’
Describing the National Educational Policy (NEP) as a step towards ‘women empowerment’, Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh on Monday said it will “help in making every woman financially independent”.
Mr. Singh added that if the NEP is implemented in the right spirit, “we will need more teachers in the coming years”. He urged “all university stakeholders” to be positive about the policy and to ensure the smooth implementation of the NEP.
Delivering a speech at the 99th College Day celebrations at Indraprastha College for Women, Mr. Singh said the multiple entry and exit option of the new undergraduate framework under the NEP would benefit girl students as statistics show that the maximum number of girls were unable to complete their education for various reasons.
