Only wherever in certain parts the state government can not do on our own we need help and guidance from the central government. I’m sure that guidance will come to us now and I am very confident about that,” Mr Sarma said.
Sarma said that Assam has already made some progress in the implementation of NEP 2020. A high level committee has been constituted in the state for implementation of the policy and the draft is ready. “We have made a policy for online teacher transfer, recruitment,” he said. In the next cabinet, the state will divide the education system as envisaged in the policy. Sarma said that the state is also moving towards setting up new universities.
