New Delhi: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has introduced a range of learning outcomes for the assessment of students at various levels while releasing a draft National Higher Educational Qualification Framework (NHEQF).
This is aimed at making students job-ready and have an entrepreneurship mindset, understanding of ethical and constitutional values to the application of knowledge.
Announced as part of the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the draft framework was put in the public domain on Monday, January 31. The commission has asked for suggestions from various stakeholders by February 13 to fine-tune the draft.
According to the draft, the NHEQF has established a few parameters of assessments for students in higher education institutions and segregated them into levels 5 to 10.
The UGC draft Levels 1 to 4 cover the school education. “The NHEQF level 5 represents learning outcomes appropriate to the first year (first two semesters) of the undergraduate programme of study, while Level 10 represents learning outcomes appropriate to the doctoral-level programme of study,” the draft document stated.
