Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who attended the meeting on behalf of the government, shared information related to the National Education Policy-2020 and the government's policy on important issues related to the education sector.
The new National Education Policy (NEP) launched in the second half of 2020 aims at overhauling India’s education system, but the prevailing pandemic situation has turned the academic calendar topsy-turvy. It is time to review how far the NEP can be made relevant to the new normal in education.
During the meeting, the Minister has recommended the constitution of a Task Force for coordinating of NEP implementation between higher education and school education departments of the Ministry of Education to facilitate the smooth transition of students from school education to higher education.
A webinar organised by the Education Promotion Society for India (EPSI) invited Directors of prominent Business Schools and management Institutions of the country to deliberate on the New Education Policy (NEP) and various associated aspects.
A state government official said the Cabinet thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for bringing New Education Policy-2020 which aims to make job creators not job seekers, and will motivate the students to move away from rote learning to critical thinking
One of the most wonderful aspects of the new policy is its flexibility ~ there is no reason why a Physics Honours undergraduate cannot take up Music or literature as a subsidiary subject. Similarly, the student can make a lateral shift from physics to literature as the main subject.
In yet another tweet she said, 'My stand on NEP 2020 differs from my party and I apologize to RahulGandhi ji for that, but I rather speak the fact than be a head nodding robot or a puppet...'
