Overarching Theme:
National Education Policy 2020:
With special Reference to Jharkhand
Concept Note
Education is the foundation for achieving human development, just society and national
development. Universalization of quality education is essential for developing and maximizing
India’s rich talents and resources for achieving rapid economic growth, ensuring social justice and
equality, scientific advancement and national integration. The National Education Policy 2020
aims at the revision and revamping the present system of regulation and governance and to create
a new system that is aligned with the SDG4, while building upon India’s traditions and value
systems.
The teacher is at the centre of reforms in the education system. This policy intended to recruit the
very best and brightest to enter the teaching profession by ensuring dignity, and autonomy while
guaranteeing quality control and accountability. This policy aims to provide a quality education
system to all sections of the society focusing on marginalized, disadvantaged, and
underrepresented groups for achieving economic and social mobility, inclusion, and equality.
The salient features of the NEP 2020 are Self – reliant India, SDG4, reinforcing and boosting
economy through entrepreneurship, internationalization of higher education, digital educational
infrastructure empowering society and knowledge economy and a new layered accreditation
system. NEP-2020 is planned to encourage programs and initiatives such as make in India, skill
India, start-up India and latest being Atma-Nirbhar India. The Covid19 crisis has shown the need
for a self-reliant society and it aims to provide opportunities to the unemployed through a self-
sustained skill-based model.
Through the principle of SDG-4, the NEP aims holistic development of an individual through
positive inclusive education from school education to higher education extended to climate,
culture, values and environment awareness. The purpose is to formulate the students think and
adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle since the primary level of education. The NEP has also laid emphasis
on increased flexibility and choice of subjects of study particularly at secondary school level. NEP
2020 is an ambitious and futuristic policy recognising the importance of foundational learning on
a more holistic development of children, the shift from the 10+2 system to the 5+3+3+4 — with
foundation, preparatory, middle, and secondary stages. Teaching of an Indian language will protect
and promote our linguistic and cultural diversity and a mother-tongue based multilingual education
system will pave the way for identity. The multiple exit and re-entry system, credit transferability
across the universities, and multi-disciplinarity in the higher education system will provide more
flexibility to students.
Although the NEP 2020 aims to bring a holistic change in the education system of India, there are
substantial challenges, both quantitative and qualitative, in implementing the reforms. The policy
envisages the redesign of the school curriculum. Gaps in physical teaching and laboratory
infrastructure are a great challenge and the cost associated with building digital infrastructure might
not be affordable for all schools across the country. NEP 2020 aims to make education system
holistic and flexible however, accomplishing these goals needs to overcome all the execution
challenges subsequently in a sustained manner.
NEP 2020 recommends many transformational ideas for education. It seeks to ensure literacy and
numeracy in a mission mode. There will be no tight distinctions between arts and sciences, between
curricular and extra-curricular activities, between vocational and academic streams. It promotes
active pedagogy, development of core capacities and life skills. NEP focuses on empowerment of
teachers and improving their recruitment and service conditions. Policy envisages separation of
regulatory, administrative and policy making functions to eliminate conflicts of interest and setting
up of a State School Standards Authority. There is also a greater emphasis on technology to
improve multiple aspects of education including learning, assessment, planning and administration.
