After 2 Years of NEP, 70% Schools Still Not Prepared, Lack of Readiness, Not Pandemic Delaying Implementation

News 18  

After two years of launching the National Education Policy, most of the schools claim that they are not fully prepared and still have to do a lot of work to implement the policy which aims at a complete overhaul of the Indian education system. While the pandemic is no longer a top concern, school leaders cite implementation of the NEP as a key concern behind the implementation of the policy and say they have work to do, revealed a survey report by Singapore-headquartered education platform XSEED Education. 37% of school leaders cite that they are interested in strengthening students’ core concepts to foster collaborative skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities in the youth. Nearly 22% of school leaders also cite NEP’s focus on formative assessment for learning rather than a summative assessment to be of interest.
