From Preamble to practice: Promoting Constitutional values through education

New Indian Express  

The NEP Significantly, the NEP sets forth an agenda of inclusion and equity in education by proposing a multi-pronged approach. These measures incorporate measures such as inclusive admissions criteria, allocating funds for access to education for marginalized groups, ensuring universal access for students with disabilities, and the creation of Special Education Zones that are tasked with an agenda of providing quality education to marginalised groups. While previous educational policies contemplated inclusion in education on the grounds of caste and gender, the NEP goes beyond these two categories to also include transgender persons, persons with disabilities and economically weaker sections. The NEP brings to life our Constitution by aligning educational policy goals with recent legal and constitutional developments that have ushered in inclusion of newer categories of marginalised persons.

While a lot has been written about the National Education Policy 2020 from the academic, political, and ideological lens, the perspective of students has been missing.
