The education system in the country is evolving at a substantial pace. With a reboot of this system through the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP), the government has instituted a series of far-reaching reforms to achieve a paradigm shift from traditional learning towards flexible, equitable and inclusive education.
NEP is a document that will reshape India’s destiny both in terms of internal resilience and enhanced resources and its standing in the world. It is a guiding philosophy, a sacred text, if you will, for the Modi government, a tool to transform the hopes and aspirations of millions of youth into reality – building on the principles of quality, equity, access and affordability.
NEP creates a knowledge economy through multiple pathways of linguistic proficiency, with a three-language policy to enable use of the mother tongue or local language or regional language as the medium of instruction. The government has also taken a big step by introducing/allowing institutes to impart technical education in the mother tongue or regional language from the current academic year – so that language does not become a stumbling block for talent. Fourteen engineering colleges of eight states will impart education in five Indian languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Bangla.
NEP promotes the integration of vocational education programmes into mainstream education. It foresees a bold new future in vocational education for skilling the future generation. Towards this, skill labs will be set up in schools in a hub-and-spoke model which will allow other schools to use the facility. Secondary schools will collaborate with ITIs, polytechnics, local industry etc.
