NEW DELHI: The Government is set to announce a committee headed by an eminent educationist in the next 10 days which would to draft the National Education Policy (NEP), HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said today.
The ministry has already held comprehensive discussions with all the stakeholders including the states, educational institutes, parliamentarians and experts, he said, adding even the recommendations of TSR Subramanian committee will be considered as an “input”.
“We will have a committee headed by an eminent educationist in the next ten days… We are discussing some names but we also have to ask them whether they are ready because they will also have to work for three to four months,” the HRD minister said in an interview.
Asked about Subramanian’s criticism that the Government was not making his committee’s draft policy public, Javadekar said he was only working on evolution of a national education policy.
They will be essentially academics but there can be people from other streams also, he added.
He said that suggestions have been received from all stakeholders and are being scrutinised.
“Seeing those and seeing the relevance of the time, they will come up with a policy statement and they will also come out with many annexures,” the minister said. (AGENCIES)
