THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF WOMEN EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF NEP 2020

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to overhaul India's education system with a focus on inclusivity, particularly for women, who face considerable socio-economic and cultural impediments to study. This study looks at the difficulties and prospects for women's education under NEP 2020. Key challenges include continuing gender prejudices, a lack of infrastructure, and limited access to digital resources, particularly in rural areas. However, the strategy creates opportunities by emphasizing flexible learning approaches, expanded vocational training, digital literacy initiatives, and efforts to lower dropout rates. This study utilized both descriptive and qualitative research approaches. The Secondary sources used in this study included books, e-books, journals, articles, websites, reports so on. The NEP 2020 seeks to empower women by ensuring equitable access to education and skill development, which can greatly increase their socio-economic engagement. Effective implementation and resolving local impediments will be critical to realizing the policy's full potential.
