educationUpdated: Aug 22, 2020 20:50 ISTThe state higher education department has formed a steering committee for implementation of National Education Policy (NEP)-2020 in Uttar Pradesh. “We are meticulously working on 16 topics and have formed working committees. This committee is different from the task force formed on August 19 which caters to primary, secondary, higher and vocational education. On the other hand, the steering committee pertains to higher education department only,” additional chief secretary, higher education, said. Members of the committee hope that integrating vocational education with higher education will be of great help in making students employable as mandated in NEP-2020 approved by the Centre last month.
