NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2020: MAKING EDUCATION MORE INCLUSIVE AND EMPLOYABLE

Keeping in mind the country's population, the Indian National Education Policy has been changed four times between 1968 and 2020 but to address the 38.5 million out-of-school children and 313 million adult illiterates in the most affected areas of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan, the Indian National Education Policy needs more efforts to solve the educational challenges. Since education is a condition for development, if the Ministry of Education collaborates with regional governments to implement the national education policy of 2020 holistically, then the quality of education and the number of children out of school will be reduced drastically. The objective of this study is to examine the national education policy 2020 and its implication for national development and analyze the “No hard separations” and “Elimination of silos” on education. A systematic review of published journals based on the secondary source of data collection was analyzed and evaluated. These journals were searched through Google and are related to the subject matter of the national education policy 2020 of India. The journals are published within the last decade. The finding reveals late enrolment of students in primary schools, financing challenges, and segregation of members of society amongst others. It is recommended that structural and process reorganization be made by the Ministry of Education, regional governments, and the management of the 3 tiers of educational institutions within the regions to achieve the goal of self-actualization that will help in social, economic, political, and human development of India and its people.
