Governor Patel said that the provisions of the policy like integrated graduate programmes, multiple-entry-multiple-exit system, academic bank of credit and research-centric environment etc. are an opportunity to make higher education more flexible, modern and enriched with global competitiveness. For this, the higher educational institutions of the state will have to do the work of innovation, quality faculty development, digital infrastructure and strengthening of industry-academia partnership in a time bound manner. In school education, the school system will have to be made the leader through teacher training, modern technology and innovative methods to provide basic literacy and numeracy to children through experiential learning in the mother tongue.

It also has to be understood that successful implementation of the policy is not just an administrative step, but a joint national effort.

He said that it is not appropriate to send children to school and consider them the responsibility of teachers. The responsibility of parents is also important in the development of children.
