Role Of Nep 2020 On School Education And Higher Education: A Review

Abstract

The New Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) introduced by the Government of India
represents a significant and ambitious effort to reform the country's education system.
This policy aims to address various shortcomings in the existing system and pave the way
for a more holistic and flexible approach to education. NEP 2020's emphasis on holistic education and skill development holds the potential to improve career prospects for students. By introducing changes in curriculum and pedagogy, the NEP aligns education with industry needs, thereby enhancing employability. The NEP 2020 offers numerous opportunities for various stakeholders, including universities, faculty, students, industries, and policymakers. It encourages institutions to revamp curricula, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and foster research partnerships to align with the policy's goals. Students, in turn, can benefit from a more flexible and interdisciplinary education system that enhances both skill development and critical thinking. This review explores the impact of the NEP on school education and the career-building process in higher education.
