National Education Policy Aims to Empower India's Marginalised Sections, Without Tinkering With Reservation System
News 18Does the National Education Policy try to dilute reservation? Apart from using reservation for creating educational inclusion of the marginalised communities, NEP 2020 also proposes many creative ways. Aside from existing categories of marginalised people, NEP has tried to explore various other categories such as Divyang, transgender, ecological and geographically marginalised zones, etc, and realised the need for their educational inclusion. While addressing issues of educational inclusion of the marginalised, the NEP proposed an interesting idea to give special emphasis on the educational inclusion of the girl child and women of the deprived sections. So with proper implementation of reservation policies, NEP 2020 has explored many new ways to inculcate educational empowerment in marginalised communities in India.
