The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasises the importance of applied learning, multiple pathways to learning and resource sharing. In addition to this, there is an importance given to technology-enabled pedagogy from grade 6. There will be need for networked schools, vibrant communication flows and a reconsideration of the medium of instruction.
The National Education Policy 2020 has delivered a masterstroke in policy reform. It can lead Indians into a new reality in which employment opportunities will be aplenty. It aims to deliver on equity and inclusion, while emphasizing on conceptual understanding over rote learning and a personalised learning experience in contrast to a one-size-fits-all approach. It will now be up to the educational ecosystem to support it through to what to do with a computer science degree.
The vision of NEP 2020 has the potential to ensure that India turns out students of a higher quality, equipped to take on professions and start businesses almost as soon as they graduate. Internships beginning in standard 6, continuous assessment and complete freedom to design an educational path can eliminate restrictive practices of choosing a stream and then having to stick with it rather than change mid-stream and risk repeating years.
