The Departments of Political Science and Education, Tetso College is organizing an online ‘Workshop on New Education Policy 2020’ with Prof. Amar Prakash Garg, Vice Chancellor, Shobhit Institute of Engineering and Technology, as the resource speaker.
Abstract: After a gap of 34 years, the first education policy of 21st Century was approved by the Government of India on 29th July, 2020 with an aim to transform present education system by 2040. National Education Policy (NEP-2020) is based on 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 in place of existing 10+2+3 system. Ministry of Human Resource & Development (MHRD) is now named as the Ministry of Education. The foundational principles of NEP-2020 are Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability and Accountability to make good human beings with rational and creative thinking, creative imagination, scientific temper, ethical values, courage, social impact to rebuild Bharat (India) as “Vishwa Guru”. The reforms and objectives of the NEP 2020 are provided from a broader perspective, and it’s not mandatory for State Governments to follow them. They may change or alter as per the needs of the State and the local requirements. It is suggested that central and state governments should substantially increase the spending on education to attain the goals with excellence and the corresponding multitude of socio-economic benefits. NEP-2020 is a big revolution replacing the 34-year-old policy and envisioning to bring about the much-needed modification in the Indian Education System. The Policy has maintained a delicate balance between the traditions and the interdisciplinary approach, which is the need of the 21st century. NEP has great potential to revamp the skills of the youth of our country and has all the right tools that are needed to be competitive at the global level.
