2. “Education must build character, enable learners to be ethical,
rational, compassionate, and caring, while at the same time
prepare them for gaining employment”
National Education Policy 2020
Destroying any nation does not require the use of
atomic bombs or the use of long-range missiles. It only
requires lowering the quality of education.

3. NEP 2020
 The present Education Policy was adopted
in 1986 which has been continued till date
that is for the last 36 years.
The NEP 2020 lays down the framework for
transformational reforms in school and
higher education systems in the country.
The new policy aims to achieve 100%
Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in school
education in next 10 years (by the year
2030) and aims at increasing the higher
education GER to 50% by 2035.
The survey of collecting feedback and
suggestions from public is ongoing
formulation of the National Curriculum
Frameworks.

4.  What does Education Policy mean?
Education policy refers to the collection of laws
and rules that govern the operation
of education systems.
 Why is it important to study education
policy?
Policies are important because they help a
school/college to establish rules and procedures
and create standards of quality for learning and
safety, as well as expectations and accountability.
Without EDUCATION POLICY, educational
institute would lack the structure and unable to
meet the needs of students.

5. Why new educational policy is needed?
• The policy looks to the next two decades and beyond.
• There have been extensive changes in society since the
last policy-social, economic, industrial and cultural.
• Increasing usage of internet and its dominance was not
foreseen in previous policy.
• The fourth industrial revolution under way has its own
implications on education.
• Alignment and sustainable development goals seek to
ensure equitable quality education and promote lifelong
learning opportunities for all by 2030.

GDP.
• The societal challenges that India needs to address today, such as access for all its
citizens to clean drinking water and sanitation, quality education and healthcare,
improved transportation, air quality, energy, and infrastructure, will require high-quality
interdisciplinary research across fields.
• This policy envisions the establishment of a National Research Foundation (NRF).

20. • The (DST), Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Department of Bio-Technology
(DBT), Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR), Indian Council of Medical
Research (ICMR), Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), and University
Grants Commission (UGC), as well as various private organizations, will continue
to independently fund research according to their priorities and needs.
