NEP: Issues and Challenges in Indian Context
Author: Ms. Vaishnavi Vadia
Abstract:
India's educational system is to be transformed by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which encourages inclusive, transdisciplinary, and holistic learning. Despite having lofty goals, a number of problems and difficulties prevent it from being implemented effectively. Key issues covered in this article include the financial strain on states, the digital divide, inadequacies in teacher preparation, linguistic impediments, and opposition to change. The viability of a diverse curriculum and the incorporation of vocational education are also emphasized. For the NEP to be implemented successfully, the study highlights the necessity of strong policy frameworks, sufficient money, and stakeholder engagement. India must overcome these obstacles if it wants to move toward a fair, high-quality educational system that satisfies international standards.
