The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) has
provided a brilliant blueprint to the country to
restructure education and several innovative
educators are leveraging this opportunity to
mould education and change teaching-learning
experience. Pointing out some of the
changes being ushered in, TG Sitharam, who has recently
taken over as Chairperson of the AICTE at this critical juncture
of NEP implementation, says in an interview to BW Education,
“In this NEP 2020, the school curriculum has been
modified to include financial literacy and artificial intelligence
(AI) as part of the roll-out of important NEP initiatives.
Given that the mother tongue or regional language
was given priority under the NEP, similar measures have
been taken, albeit on a trial basis, in a number of states.
Additionally, the Ministry of Education has introduced the
much-discussed Academic Bank of Credit, a concept that
would give college students several admission and exit alternatives.”

The NEP, along with Covid, gave opportunity to several
new-age education entities largely driven by edtech. The
challenge is to separate the wheat from the chaff. And the
Top Education Brands Awards is an effort of BW Education
in this direction. We seek to highlight some pathbreaking
initiatives in preschool, school, higher education and edtech
segments. The interviews of winners featured in this
issue demonstrate the innovative zeal and perseverance,
of educators who have started their ventures. They possess
the empathy, environment concern and understanding
of skills requirement of 21st Century India. It is heartening
to see the impact they are making in the student
community.
