The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released its new mentorship guidelines for both non-teaching and teaching streams. According to the UGC, defining a system of mentoring teachers is to furnish teachers with approaches and skills to progressively improvise results for students.
Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, Union Education Minister had earlier announced that the UGC has decided to release guidelines along with an implementation strategy for mentorship and induction of teachers.
A committee formulated by the University Grants Commission has drafted the operational and establishment guidelines for mentorship and induction of teachers in 2021.
