The role of higher education institutions, the structure of higher education, the course outcome, credit system, and the skill-oriented courses were discussed in the orientation.
Dr. Ordetta Mendoza in her session put forward the idea of how the institution has to plan the curriculum when it comes to autonomy. “The NEP 2020 stresses the autonomy of all higher education institutions and one of the important aspects is the framing of the curriculum and syllabi by the institution. The curriculum should be framed to suit the needs of present and future generations of students,” she said.
