NEP 2020: A Roadmap for India's New Education Policy

Abstract

The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) is a blueprint for a new India that aims to reform the educational system. On July 29, 2020, the Indian cabinet gave their approval. This essay is a first attempt to highlight NEP 20020 and examine India’s vision for a comprehensive education system change to meet 21st-century learning difficulties. This study is exploratory in nature and is based on secondary data. Results are based on a thorough evaluation of the body of literature. It was discovered that one of NEP 2020's key goals is to boost student enrollment by 2030 throughout all educational institutions, including elementary, secondary, and higher education. It has proposed gradual reforms to the current educational and governmental structures in order to accomplish that. This research is a preliminary analysis of a policy document and can be used as a starting point for future studies using empirical data to examine the effects of the NEP once it has been put into place. India's higher education is anticipated to make significant strides under NEP 2020. The goal is to build India for the twenty-first century, which will undoubtedly assume a leadership position on the world stage. The majority of NEP 2020 is a fairly forward-thinking text, with a clear understanding of the existing socioeconomic landscape and the potential to tackle future difficulties. If successfully executed, it has all the makings of making India a global hub for education by 2030.
