Vice-Chancellor G. Hemantha Kumar said here on Saturday that the National Education Policy-2020 lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potential of each individual. Speaking after inaugurating a workshop for the members of the syllabus framing committee at the the Department of Social Work here, he said the NEP also gives scope for a skill-based, multidisciplinary educational environment besides multiple entries and exits. He said the NEP is based on the principle that education must develop not only cognitive capacities – both the foundational capacities of literacy and numeracy and higher order cognitive capacities such as critical thinking and problem solving – but also social, ethical and emotional capacities.
