A Dalit student I taught 2 years ago was working part time as a Swiggy delivery executive. He was raised by a single mother who took loans to put him through an undergraduate degree.
On the day he wrote his final exam, he had a confirmed job in security management at Bengaluru Airport. They'd told him he could come whenever he wanted. But his mother insisted he finish his degree so he could have something to fall back on, in case this job didn't stick.
He had several supplementary exams to give which he is still clearing one by one while continuing to hold that job.
If the #NEP is implemented, the first casualty, like always, will be the Dalit & Adivasi students. By taking away their right to hold a triple- major degree, you are making it easier for TataBirlaMallyaByju type people to hijack their labour and pay them shit. #StopNEP
Secondly, Ashwath Narayan & crew have devised the #NEP only by rote-learning Savarna catchphrases like 'technical skills', 'global competence', 'holistic', & 'nuance'. If anything, it shows their incompetence with words & a failure to grasp the diversity in student community.
Thirdly, thousands of language and other teachers might lose their jobs IN THE PANDEMIC. Colleges, teachers, & students are NOT prepared to jump ship suddenly in the middle of the academic year.
