<p>Chairman of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) Anil D Sahasrabudhe on Saturday stressed on the need for revision of curriculum in all streams of education to bring changes into the teaching-learning process.</p>.<p>"The curriculum is a vibrant thing. We can't sleep on the curriculum for decades. Changes happening around the world have to come into the teaching-learning process," Prof Sahasrabudhe said.</p>.<p>The AICTE chairman delivered a lecture on Higher Education in India post-Covid in a virtual conference organised by the SRM University-AP. Stating that all engineering colleges have been mandated to go for curriculum revision, Sahasrabudhe said even arts, science and commerce streams should go for it.</p>.<p>"Under the New Education Policy-2020, we have also made internship mandatory for undergraduate students, project-based experiential learning besides training of faculty, which is very important. The AICTE has created an eight-module faculty certification programme that will cover the entire lifecycle of teachers," he added.</p>.<p>Noting that there has been a transition from classroom to online education in the Covid-19 era, Sahasrabudhe said somewhere the quality was slightly affected. "We can certainly overcome that. We have to replicate and re-model the classroom-type education," he said.</p>.<p>"We have to, however, get out of this (Covid-19 crisis) as soon as possible and get back to the classrooms and campuses. That is the need of the hour," the AICTE chief said.</p>.<p>Sahasrabudhe said all things could not be done online. "Human-to-human touch is important. A blended way of education (classroom and online) is essential, making use of the strength of technology," he said.</p>.<p>Andhra Pradesh government Special Chief Secretary (Higher Education) Satish Chandra, SRM University-AP Pro-Vice-Chancellor D Narayana Rao, Vice-Chancellor V S Rao and others were present. </p>
