We now see the NEP 2020\u2019s unfolding implementation without any\nParliamentary approval. Instead of being discussed with important stakeholders\nlike the state governments (Education is on the Concurrent List), students,\nteachers, non-teaching staff, educationists and other experts, various elements\nof NEP 2020 are being rolled out in different parts of the country in an ad hoc\npiecemeal manner. This is creating grave uncertainties and confusion about the\nactual direction proposed for the Indian Education system under this new\npolicy, by your government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am writing this letter to you to\nhighlight one particular issue which is causing great anxiety especially among\nSC, ST, OBC communities and the disabled. It is truly shocking that NEP 2020\nmakes no mention of reservations for these sections, either for admissions or\nfor appointments to teaching and non-teaching positions. In fact, even the word\n\u201creservation\u201d does not appear anywhere in the policy document! This has led to\nwidespread concern whether this act of omission is deliberate, conveying the\nintention to reverse many decades of efforts to integrate quality, quantity and\nequity in the Indian Education system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am, therefore, seeking your clear and\ncategorical response to the following question viz., does NEP2020 seek to end\nthe policy of reservations for SC, ST, OBC and disabled in educational\ninstitutions? If not, could you please clarify as to why NEP2020 does not\ncontain any mention of reservations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yours sincerely<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sitaram Yechury<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General Secretary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communist Party of india (Marxist)<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shri Narendra Modi Prime Minister Sub: The absence of any mention of \u2018reservations\u2019 in \u2018NEP 2020\u2019 This is to draw<\/p>","protected":false},"author":345,"featured_media":2205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[43,556,639],"class_list":["post-11328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-banner","category-press-release","tag-cpim","tag-nep2020","tag-primeministermodi"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11328"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11330,"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11328\/revisions\/11330"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpimwb.glohtesting.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
