Given the ambitious goals of the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, how might challenges such as regional disparities in resources, the readiness of educational infrastructure, and the capacity to train and deploy teachers affect the policy’s effectiveness in delivering equitable and holistic education across India’s diverse socio-economic contexts?

NEP 2020 aims for equitable education, but its implementation faces significant hurdles. Regional disparities in resources create uneven access to quality infrastructure, libraries, and digital tools, hindering students’ learning potential. The existing educational infrastructure may not be equipped to handle the policy’s focus on experiential learning and holistic development. A crucial challenge lies in training teachers to adopt new pedagogies and assess students holistically. The vast diversity of India’s socioeconomic contexts demands tailored approaches, which requires substantial capacity building. Overcoming these challenges is essential for NEP 2020 to truly deliver equitable education for all.
