National Education Policies and the Impact on Overall Development

Abstract

This article delves into the transformative vision of India’s National Education Policy NEP 2020, highlighting its potential to reshape the educational landscape from pre - primary to university levels through the 5 - 3 - 3 - 4 curricular framework. By advocating for multidisciplinary approaches, integration with the Indian knowledge system, and emphasis on skill development, the NEP2020 aims to foster globally competitive human resources. The new horizon of India’s growth story will be achieved by the combination of her value based knowledge and enhancement of skilled human resources. The implementation of this policy, initiated in a phased manner since 2020, presents both significant challenges and solutions, such as the need for extensive infrastructure development, teacher training, and the incorporation of digital and environmental literacy. The article also discusses the policy’s impact on Assam’s education system, addressing local challenges and opportunities. With a holistic perspective, it underscores the NEP2020s potential to drive India towards educational excellence and societal transformation by 2047, urging stakeholders across the nation to contribute to its successful implementation.
