National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to transform education while keeping the learner at the centre. The NEP builds on recommendations from the Education Commission (1964–66) and Justice J. S. Verma Commission (2012) as well as the previous version of the policy – National Policy on Education 1986, modified in 1992 (NPE 1986/92).
The NEP 2020 is a big step in the right direction as it focuses on the holistic development of students by ensuring access, relevance, equity, quality and strong foundational learning.
