The group argues that the focus on vocational training undermines foundational academic subjects and critical thinking.
Why it matters

The Mysuru district committee of the All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) has opposed the State government’s introduction of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) model in Karnataka Public Schools (KPS), alleging that it is a backdoor implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
