Scores of Delhi University teachers, who are boycotting evaluation of undergraduate exams in protest against the new UGC criteria to ascertain their academic performance, on Monday marched to Parliament over the issue. "This attack on the educated youth who are shouldering the responsibility of running the biggest public-administered system of affordable, inclusive and quality-driven higher education undermines the very mandate of this government," a member of the Delhi University Teachers' Association said. The teachers argue that the new amendments will lead to job-cuts to the tune of 50%. The teachers have been boycotting the evaluation process since May 24 and will continue with it till June 2. The teachers argue that the new amendments will lead to job-cuts to the tune of 50% and drastically increase pupil-teacher ratio in higher education.
