National Education Policy 2020: Current Issues and Reimagining the Future of Higher Education

Abstract

The New Education Policy 2020, introduced on July 29, 2020, is the first education policy of the twenty-first century. Higher education is crucial in a developing nation like India because it promotes human development. India’s higher education system has grown astronomically since its independence. It will aid the country’s growth by disseminating specialised information and abilities. This study aims to investigate how NEP 2020 has impacted the higher education system. It also emphasises the problems and difficulties facing India’s current higher education system. The data used in this study are secondary data which are descriptive in nature and analysed according to the objective of the study. Here, the researchers have collected the data from various journals, books, reports, internet sites, newspapers etc. The higher education system in India is to be modernised as part of NEP 2020. The NEP 2020 will significantly advance Indian higher education. The NEP 2020 is a very forward-thinking document with a firm understanding of the current socioeconomic landscape and the potential to tackle future challenges. It could turn India into a global hub for education by 2030 if appropriately implemented.
