NEP 2020 - A Realistic Approach to School Education

Authors(1) :-Dr. Chandra Dev Yadav

Education is an essential and indispensable element for the all-round development of any society and country and a comprehensive national education policy is formulated by a nation to fulfil this requirement. The New National Education Policy, 2020, is an important initiative in this direction. It extends the Right to Education eligibility window further from 6-14 years to 3-18 years. With a goal of having 100 percent of children ‘school-ready’ by 2030, the policy pushes for universalisation of ECCE. Thus, providing quality education and creating lifelong learning opportunities for all, leading to full and productive employment and decent work as enlisted in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030, forms the thrust of NEP 2020. While reviewing this document, we find that it is based on the ground reality of the country’s education scenario that puts more emphasis on the creativity and innovation as well as personality development of the students, rather than expecting them to score high percentage and memorizing the content without getting a basic grasp of concepts. NEP 2020 is said to transform the existing education system by 2030, while creating little or zero impact on the current school-going children.
