National Education Policy 2020: A Transformational Paradigm for Curriculum, Pedagogy, and Quality Enhancement in School Education

Author(s): Dr. Madhu Srivastava and Dr. Archna Vats

Abstract:

A comprehensive and forward-thinking overhaul of the Indian educational system, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to address quality, equity, access, and relevance. NEP 2020, which replaces the National Policy on Education 1986, brings about pedagogical, curricular, and institutional changes in both higher education and schools. The philosophical underpinnings, important policy actions, and possible ramifications of NEP 2020 for curricular reform and quality improvement are all critically examined in this conceptual study. The study emphasizes the move toward holistic development, competency-based education, transdisciplinary learning, and teacher empowerment using an analytical and descriptive method based on secondary sources. The study comes to the conclusion that although NEP 2020 has a great deal of revolutionary potential, successful implementation, capacity building, and ongoing support policy are necessary for it to succeed.
