New Education Policy 2020 | नई शिक्षा नीति-2020 | A vision for the education system in India| viptalkswithvipin |.

 The coming decade will witness phenomenal change and disruption in the field of higher education. As academicians, while our focus has been intense on the quality and delivery aspects of education.


Drawing from India’s heritage

According to Swami Vivekananda, “Education is not the amount of information that we put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have life-building, man-making,character-making assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library. If education is identical with information, the libraries are the greatest sages of the world and encyclopedia are the greatest Rishis”.  The focus of education in ancient India was not just the collection of knowledge, as ready for life in this world or for life beyond schooling, but for complete realization and liberation of the self. 

Alignment with the global sustainable development goals

The global education development agenda is seen in the sustainable development goal 4 (SDG4) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It  “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030. Educational opportunity is form when students and teachers engage in purposeful learning experiences that help students develop in various ways.

Liberal arts approach in higher education 

 The history of higher education in India known for the holistic aspect of all human knowledge.Liberal Education through a combination of different disciplines that include the Arts, Humanities, Mathematics and Sciences suitably integrated with a comprehensive study of a special area of interest. The available assessments on such an approach that integrate the humanities and arts with Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) have showed positive learning outcomes.

Focus on high quality research 

 National Research Foundation (NRF) that will focus on funding research within the education system, primarily at colleges and universities. The Foundation will focus the four broad areas of Sciences, Technology, Social Sciences, and Arts & Humanities. Besides strengthening the presently weak support that subjects such as the Social Sciences and the Humanities receive, NRF will also bring in cohesion among the various research endeavours of multidisciplinary character.
