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’s goal of equitable education faces significant implementation challenges.
Regional disparities in resources create uneven access to quality infrastructure, libraries, and digital tools, hindering holistic development. The existing teacher shortage and lack of adequate training further compromise effective implementation. Upgrading infrastructure, ensuring equitable resource distribution, and comprehensive teacher training are crucial for NEP 2020 to bridge educational gaps and create a level playing field for all students.
