The Meghalaya Teachers’ College Association (MCTA) has demanded the Vice Chancellor of the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) Prof Prabha Shankar Shukla to immediately withdraw a notification issued on July 12 for implementation of National Education Policy (NEP).
While speaking to media, MCTA said, “We demand the VC to withdraw the notification with immediate effect. We have served the representation on July 21 and because he has remained silent, we started the ongoing non-cooperation movement from August 1.”
The teachers of the 22 colleges under the banner of the MCTA are boycotting first semester classes under the NEP and are not undertaking any assignments like setting up of question papers for the first semester courses under the new education policy. However, they continue to teach students of 3rd to 5th semesters under the present course.
MCTA also said that the July 12-notification had claimed that the decision to implement NEP has been taken as per decision of the 110th Academic Council of NEHU and the same has been approved by the Executive Council.
“Now, we challenge that on the basis of the proceedings of the 110th Academic Council. In the said proceedings, not even a single word is mentioned that the decision has been taken. Do you think a meeting is called on the very purpose of implementing NEP for 2023-24 and the proceedings will not even mention it? The main agenda which has been discussed and passed according to them will not feature in the proceeding. Therefore, it is a blatant lie,” MCTA added.
Regarding the next course of action, MCTA said the association will take a collective decision after a threadbare discussion.
