ABUTA flags NEP 2020 impact ahead of Bengal polls, calls it strain on higher education

A group of Left-leaning college and university teachers has released a document ahead of the West Bengal assembly polls, alleging that the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and state-level decisions have severely strained the higher education sector.

The All Bengal University Teachers Association (ABUTA) also urged people to make an informed choice while voting.

Calling the document a "manifesto," the ABUTA said the introduction of a four-year undergraduate program in line with NEP 2020 has increased the duration of study without a corresponding expansion in infrastructure, faculty strength, or institutional resources.
