The withdrawal of the new curriculum by the NMC is welcome

 

Education lays the path for progress, but not everything that passes for education i a universal good. Immediate corrective measures are needed when it strays from its path, and the government’s decision to withdraw the Competency Based Medical Education Curricu han guidelines published by the National Medical Commission (NMO rich with blundering inter pretations, jerka a retrograde move back within law, and reason. Published on August 31, the cur riculum specified that sodomy and lesbianism were “unnatural sexual offences, including them under the category ‘sexual offences It also slotted transvestism or cross-dressing under the category of sexual perversion. The mandatory se ven hours of disability competencies that stu dents earlier had to undergo were excluded from the foundation course too. In doing so, the NMC did not merely attempt to take medical students back centuries, but it did so in violation of at least a couple of laws of the land, and overlooked the guidelines it had set earlier. In mentioning sodo my, lesbianism and transvestism as offences/per versions, the NMC was in violation of the Trans genderpersons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 Notably, following admonition by the Madras and Kerala High Courts, the NMC, in October 2021, in structed all medical universities to not approve unscientific, derogatory and discriminatory in formation on the LGBTQIA community. With the removal of mandatory disability competen cies from the foundation course, the NMC violat ed the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. It mandates the inclusion of the rights of persons with disabilities in the curriculum of un- iversities, colleges and schools and further re quires the integration of disability as a compo nent in all educational courses for university teachers, doctors, nurses, and paramedical per- sonnel. Again, it was the NMC that introduced the competencies in 2019, as a response to years of advocacy. The competencies would provide stu dents a rights-based approach to removing bar- riers to health care, and ensuring equitable access to quality care.

 

Naturally, transgender and disability rights groups protested vehemently against the revised curriculum. Incensed by this regressive move, that erased all the progress achieved in the curri culum after decades of advocacy, they said they would write to the World Federation for Medical Education to temporarily suspend the NMC’s re cognition status if the errors were not immediate ly rectified. While the crisis is past for the mo ment, the incident has eroded the faith of the public, and marginalised groups, that the govern ment always has their best interests at heart. Pro- gress, particularly in changing perceptions and pre-conceived notions, is hard-won in incremen tal doses. For an arm of the government itself to undermine these small advances is a shameful act. The withdrawal is a matter of great relief.
