Ajay Kamath, Karnataka State Secretary of AIDSO, stands at the forefront of a victory for the students’ movement as the Karnataka State Government opts to retract the four-year degree course introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Following extensive opposition from students, educators, and stakeholders across the state, the government’s decision reflects the triumph of concerted advocacy efforts.
Kamath, a key figure in the pushback against the four-year degree program, emphasizes the collective impact of student protests, teacher dissent, and expert critiques in influencing this pivotal decision. With the formal issuance of the rollback awaited, Kamath urges continued unity and vigilance among students to safeguard educational integrity.
Criticism is directed at the previous BJP administration for unilaterally implementing the four-year degree course without adequate consultation, a move deemed undemocratic. Kamath affirms that the struggle will persist until a more inclusive education policy, aligned with the aspirations of the people, is enacted in Karnataka.
