Abstract

                The National Education Policy (NEP 2020) focuses on ensuring easy access, equity, quality, and accountability in school education for all learners. It emphasizes providing equitable access for students with a strong focus on early childhood care and education (ECCE). School education needs improvement through pedagogical reforms and curriculum redesign, supported by assessment reforms and benchmarking standards to evaluate student learning. Teacher education and professional development are key, particularly through induction training for teachers. NEP 2020 also highlights the importance of educational technology and digital infrastructure, ensuring equitable access to devices and learning materials. As education is a concurrent subject in India, both central and state responsibilities are considered. Successful NEP 2020 implementation requires coordination among stakeholders and government commitment to societal and economic goals.
