India is a country of 138 Billion people & more than 60% of its population is young. Its median age is 28.8 & the more young people means more prosperity, more life expectancy & much more new developments. However, are we able to find the same in today's India. The answer is no/not upto the expectations, if we go to the real reason, much of it lies in our education system itself which focuses more on facts than application of knowledge, In Today's world, information is available everywhere but there is serious lack of knowledge amongst indians.
In these times, Government of india is taking a right step towards changing its education policy to suit it to the recent needs.
Below snap refers to various developments for education policy of India.
Almost a week ago, on 31st july, 2020 Indian government announced new education policy, which is a complete makeover of the existing one and more suitable for the current demographics of india.
Some of the biggest highlights of the NEP 2020 are, 1) a single regulator for higher education institutions, except medical & legal profession 2) multiple entry and exit options in degree courses, 3) discontinuation of MPhil programmes, 4) low stakes board exams, 5) common entrance exams for universities.
If properly implemented, these initiatives will work in favor of our students to empower them to take decisions in their life.
Point is, Life takes it exam everyday & that is never being taught in school. As of now, Schools teach only the works done by different people and the basics of history, geography, physics, chemistry, economics & language. These things are never being used in actual life except for few professions.
In fact, the purpose of our education system was to create professionals who can work for major businesses & government. No-one has checked that with ever complicating things & changing business models across the globe, we need to educate our younger generation to apply the information they gain from sources.
No. of universities & accrediting organizations have really complicated the entrance examinations & the trauma students undergo during their college days.
This new change must change the way our younger generation is getting prepared for new challenges.
It will also help kids having overall knowledge & get holistic education which is most important in today's times when both working parents are not able to impart proper education to their kids.
There are many hopes with this education policy provided its properly implemented.
