Explanation:

The Union Cabinet has approved the proposal for promulgation of ‘The Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers’ Cadre) Ordinance, 2019’ considering the University/ College as a unit instead of ‘Department/ Subject’. The Union Cabinet has approved an ordinance to return faculty reservations in higher education institutions to the earlier “200-point roster system”, whereby the University or college as a whole is considered as a unit, rather than each department. A number of teachers and student unions have been agitating for such a decision for over a year, arguing that the 13-point roster system, which considered each department as a separate unit, effectively phased out reserved positions, especially in smaller departments.
