UGC releases guidelines on courses for teaching Divyangjans, SLDs
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released guidelines on “Credit-based course on pedagogical aspects for teaching Divyanjans and Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs)” to address the learning styles, and needs of students with disabilities. The Commission has also invited feedback on the guidelines from universities, students, and all concerned on or before October 25 on the University Activity Monitoring Portal (UAMP) – uamp.ugc.ac.in.
UGC has prepared the guidelines keeping in view the significant recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 towards the teaching of Divyangjans and SLDs, UGC said.
“With the flexibility in the selection of subjects and courses, an inclusive pedagogy characterized by the use of multiple modes of delivery, addressing multiple learning styles and learning needs of Divyangjans and students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs), needs to be promoted at all levels of education,” UGC stated in official notification.
The Commission also iterated that the NEP 2020 emphasizes equity and inclusion as the cornerstone of all educational decisions to ensure that all students are able to thrive in the education system.
“This signifies the inevitability of redefining the curriculum, keeping pace with the liberalisation and globalisation in education to allow the students irrespective of any diversity including students with disabilities with an easy mode of mobility to various educational institutions with the facility of credit transfer,” it added.
"Evaluation in credit system needs to describe an educational programme by attaching credits to its components which are based on different parameters such as course load, learning outcomes and contact hours for teaching and learning," the Commission added.
