In an exclusive interaction with BW Education, Dr Sheth envisages the outcomes and the impact of NEP 2020 on Management Education along with what the future of the Indian education system holds. Excerpts:
What are your thoughts on National Education Policy 2020 and the possible impact on management education?
There are three aspects of the National Education Policy (NEP). The first and foremost is the freedom it provides to the student to pick and choose, mix and match different classes from different institutions. In that respect, it reduces the regimentation of the governing bodies such as UGC and AICTE.
The second major aspect is to encourage digital education in order to make education more accessible and affordable. In other words, there is a democratization of higher education. Finally, it encourages top foreign universities to hub in India so that Indian students don’t have to go abroad to get world-class education and experience.
