This
article will focus on National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and its impact on
Higher Education in particular. The focus on having more disciplinary colleges
in each region by 2030 is a promising idea. We will revitalize international
focus on the arts, people, and the diverse education system to ensure that our
students have good skills in future careers. Looking back on these
programs, we will find that these were started in phases from 2014 but with the
sole purpose of developing entrepreneurship over jobs. The current Covid19
crisis has demonstrated the legitimacy and need of such a confident community
and also aims to redirect an unemployed youth to get a job through a process
based on the skills they use. It aims to build India as a place of knowledge
that attracts foreign nationals and to promote research cooperation and student
exchanges between Indian institutions and international institutions through organized
efforts. Taking a step forward, the NEP emphasizes the need to come up with an
education system that makes India address its key challenges, including health.
INTRODUCTION
The
highlight of NEP 2020[1] is
the proposal to set up the Indian Higher Education Commission (HECI), which
is a single body for higher education, excluding medical and legal education. HECI
has four independent verticals - the National Council for Higher Education
(NHERC), the General Education Council (GEC) for generalization, the Council
for Higher Education Funders (HEGC) for funding, and the National Accreditation
Council (NAC) for accreditation. In the world, to be united in the level of
education, the single body was always the requirement.
The
second set of proposals is to introduce one university entrance exams conducted
by the National Testing Agency. Previously, in order to gain admission
to various universities, a student had to go through a series of examinations
and a difficult level of question papers at many central universities. If this
system is used by the student can save them from the burden of many. At the
same time, the level of the question paper will be standardized, error-free as
the NTA conducts, and the admission process will be adjusted.
With
this policy, The Gross Registration Level across the country and the many
options for entry and exit at the lowest level of the proposed ones.
The
proposed policies will change the face of the Indian education system in the
years to come, but that will depend on how they are developed and implemented.
SELF
SUSTAINING INDIA[2]
The
first goal of the NEP is to implement robust solutions to its problems
associated with the various programs of the Government of India - Make in
India, skill India, start-up India, and the latest Atma-Nirbhar India.
If
we look at sections 3, 4, and 7 of School Education and 10.8 article of the NEP
text, skills education is given priority in school and higher education. It
should be integrated at the school level from preschool to grade 12 and aims to
equip each student with one vocational skill. Continuing with Higher Education,
it aims to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio[3]
in higher education including vocational education from 26.3% (2018) to 50% by
2035.
National
committee for the Integration of Vocational Education (NCIVE) will
be formed to set framework.
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The
UN has identified 17 goals of sustainable development[4]
and the SDG4[5]
as education primarily as a well-defined tool in 195. Article 7.12 on building Samajik
Chetna Kendra, which will include community activities and provide a more
cohesive environment in schools.
Sections
10.3, and 10.6 of the NEP, address the most important responsibilities of
Higher Education Institutions in public participation, school system support
and value-based education and environmental education. Holistic personal development aims the use of appropriate education which includes schooling to
higher education and is not limited to restrictions on certain subjects but
extends to climate, culture, heritage and environmental awareness. It is
also compared to Global Citizenship Education (GCED), for understanding of
global challenges and solutions. To prepare students to think and embrace a
healthy lifestyle from a higher level of education.
EDUCATION
AS AN INCENTIVE ECONOMY
Section
17 of the NEP emphasizes the economy of knowledge about promoting cultural
values, raising GER in higher education and aspiring more young people to
pursue higher education, the creation of a large number of talented and skill
youth aspiring to build a nation and develop the country's economy,
technological solutions. A GDP of 6% will be invested to achieve these
goals. Emphasizing academic studies and financial support, incubation canters
strengthen the drive to grow the economy and social development through
businesses.
INTERNATIONALISATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION
It
aims to build India as a place of knowledge that attracts foreigners and to
promote research cooperation and student exchanges between Indian and
international institutions through organized efforts. This is an important
transformation that should benefit in seamless education and industrial jobs
across the globe.
It
will also improve foreign trade relations not only through education but also
in support services and other fields and as graduates will become better
acquainted with Indian culture, socio-economic diversity, trade rules,
industrial power and much more.
DIGITAL
CLASSES
India's
digital initiative[6]
and the current epidemic has been the catalyst behind the need for the
construction and development of digital libraries, content, technology and classrooms,
online teaching and multilingual education at NEP 2020.
Sections
23 and 24 provide information integration technology through a dedicated unit
for planning and enhancing digital infrastructure, digital content and capacity
building of technology centres to address the e-educational needs of both
schools and higher education and make India digital empowered by society and
knowledge economy. The biggest challenge here is to find that internet
connectivity, technology devices and infrastructure need to be developed and
implemented.
The
regulatory body, the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF), is
proposed to provide a platform for decision-making on the importation,
deployment, and use of technology.
ACCREDITATION
SYSTEM
The
new accreditation system for basic campus and online distance learning (ODL),
the infrastructure of high-level institutions that provide institutions for
universities, faculty training, and institutions defines NEP2020 in 21st century
India. The integration process should be stopped and taught and researched
performing two major functions in the institution. Authorization should be able
to set standards for infrastructure quality, intelligence, technology, GER[7],
research facilities.
EQUIP
TEACHERS WITH STATE OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION SYSTEM
Many
efforts are being made directly by teacher training in a high school. Further
training in digital technology with the help of national organizations and
institutions in each region. The main development is the introduction of B.Ed.
education courses and a certified pedagogy course during the Ph.D. enrolment of
aspirants. A good research student may not be a good teacher. They need to be
taught the right way and the tools to pass on information which is why this is
a promising step.
However,
the inclusion will have its challenges in terms of finances, the best in class
resources and the greatest disability. A major sector is regular testing that
is included under the current NEP 2020. There is no clear way to remove
direct learning and pressure from the test of knowledge used and to practice
the practice of non-fiction. We should support the policy and continue to
provide feedback on the additional level of improvement and the assessment
marks required to prevent inefficiencies of any kind.
DEALING
WITH HEALTH CHALLENGES
This
will require advanced studies in science, social and human sciences, graduate
research, and other advances in the education system. India should also focus
on marginalized areas, such as artificial intelligence, big data, and genomic
studies. These lessons can be valuable applications in sensitive areas,
including health.
While
providing a child with a healthy environment may include other factors, NEP is
taking a step towards integrating education and health to enable children to
learn and grow as healthy people.
CONCLUSION
National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a big revolution replacing the 34-year-old policy idea and envisioning to bring about the much-needed modification in the Indian Education System. The Policy has maintained a delicate balance between the traditions and the interdisciplinary approach, which is the need of the 21st century. NEP has the potential to revamp the skills of the youth of our country and has all the right tools that are needed to be competitive at the global level. Needless to say, the New Education Policy is undoubtedly a progressive and ambitious policy that India is waiting for.
