Education

Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the NEP 2020 aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. It envisions a holistic approach to curriculum and development, focusing on nurturing 21st-century skills, mathematical reasoning, and scientific temper. Innovative strategies are encouraged across states to optimise school systems by 2025, moving towards an education system that empowers students to ‘learn to learn’, transitioning from rote memorization to a more interactive, experiential learning model that provides students with a broad range of choices in their education.

The NEP advocates for a curriculum and pedagogical reform that fosters higher-order cognitive skills, including critical and computational thinking, essential for creating a workforce ready to meet the future’s demands. This focus on elevating the underserved highlights the potential for digital education to kindle interest among students in rural areas, ensuring both students and teachers benefit from enhanced engagement and learning outcomes.
