How to implement National Education Policy 2020
A well-defined, well-planned and progressive education policy is a must for every country because education is the cornerstone of economic and social progress. Main highlights of NEP The new education policy aims at overhauling the India's existing education regime, making it more learner-centric. NEP 2020 has as its main tenets: flexibility, so that learners can choose their learning trajectories; equal promotion of arts, sciences, physical education and other extra-curricular activities so that learners can pick whatever piques their interests; multi-disciplinary approach; emphasis on conceptual learning rather than rote learning; creativity and critical thinking; cultivating life skills like cooperation, teamwork, empathy, resilience; and regular formative assessment for learning rather than the existing summative assessment. The new model under NEP, called STEAM, will be an upgrade over the current STEM model in higher education at a bachelor degree level, as it is focused on experiential, application-based learning and research-based internship. Summing it up The drafting committee of NEP 2020 has made a comprehensive attempt to design a policy that considers state/UT governments, expert viewpoints, global best practices in education, field experiences and stakeholders' feedback.
