Absence of dedicated regulator hits open universities
Wednesday, November 30, 2016 IST
As far back as the Distance Education Council (DEC) of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (Ignou) was broken up in 2012, open colleges in the nation have confronted various difficulties. A large portion of them have not possessed the capacity to begin courses due to absence of endorsements. A few foundations have likewise not been allotted improvement stores.
Regulatory powers identified with open and separation learning (ODL) were exchanged to the University Grants Commission (UGC) after the disintegration and it was given the errand of confining new controls. In any case, it was chosen that till the new standards were informed DEC guidelines for acknowledgment of ODL establishments would be actualized.
No new courses since 2014 have been perceived, says Professor Nageshwar Rao, VC of Uttarakhand State Open University. "We can't begin any new course. Indeed, even after examination and authorization by statutory bodies, for example, the National Council for Teacher Education and Rehabilitation Council of India, open colleges are sitting tight for endorsement for beginning such courses since 2014. Courses created amid 2013/14 have turned out to be out of date. The ODL framework can't add to the activities and push of the legislature in regards to advanced education, particularly computerized India and skilling."
The HRD minister had guided the separation training controller to permit ODL colleges to begin testament and certificate courses all alone on August 30 this year, however Professor Rao said he had yet to get the request. The nonappearance of a controller influences nature of instruction bestowed and new activities in separation training mode. "The DEC ought to be restored or another administrative body ought to be shaped. On the off chance that both are unrealistic, the UGC ought to be given satisfactory labor to bolster this movement of directing ODL organizations as the ODL framework requires an alternate approach. At present, UGC as controller screens the ODL framework with the attitude of routine instruction," Prof Rao includes.
