To enhance the gross enrolment ratio in colleges and disseminate information on the positive impacts of implementing the National Education Policy-2020, the state government has initiated the ‘School Connect’ (NEP Connect) communication campaign for implementation at all non-agricultural universities in the state. The campaign, education officials say, aims to guide students and parents on various initiatives and changes in the education system under NEP in detail.
The government resolution (GR) has instructed all state universities to establish a committee led by their respective pro-vice-chancellors to supervise the execution of the campaign. Laying down a detailed plan, a government resolution dated January 5 stated, “A workshop to initiate a school connect campaign should be conducted. As part of the preparation of the programme. The initiative should be implemented through the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) within the university. The campaign should be implemented from January 15 to 31. For this, a coordination committee should be established at the university level which will be headed by the pro-vice-chancellor; other members would include members of IQAC, principals of affiliated senior colleges, principals of junior colleges attached to schools. More importantly, student representatives should be included in the committee.”
