The ISA asked, “When all private faculties are already not-for-earnings, why should the repayment paid to them not be the same as the rate charged from other paying students.”
“The books posted using it aren’t simplest poorly laid out with outdated factors and illustrations, however, are shoddily printed on the poorest first-class paper. They are rarely available on time and are authored with the aid of big committees headed by learned professors of training, who no longer have even days to enjoy coaching in schools. However, the books are not simplest full of grammatical mistakes but also comprise misguided information,” stated ISA within the document. “The ultimate time these books have been revised changed into in 2006,” said one of the member college’s head.
ISA recommended that a observation of the curriculum designs of nations like Norway should be undertaken, and the NCERT should induct authors versed in lecture room teaching. “It would be most perfect that the NCERT restrict itself to framing the curriculum/ syllabi and let non-public publishers make textbooks for its approval. The authorities can devise some different techniques for rate manipulate of textbooks,” the faculties body said.
One of the affiliation participants said the record had been circulated to the various member colleges for further feedback. The identical could then be sent to the Union human aid improvement ministry. The new schooling coverage draft became public for objections, opinions, and tips from various stakeholders.
