A Statistical Exploration of Flexibility and Inclusivity under NEP 2020
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, introduced by the Government of India, aims to transform the educational system to better suit the needs of a knowledge-driven society. Replacing the old policy, NEP focuses on quality, equity, accessibility, and accountability in education. A significant change is made to align with students' cognitive development from early childhood to secondary education. Additionally, it supports a flexible and multidisciplinary approach, allowing students to choose subjects that match their interests and career aspirations. Findings from the study indicate that the NEP is progressing toward creating a more student-centric and flexible education system in India, although continued efforts and stakeholder feedback are essential for maximizing its potential.
