About NEP 2020
The National Education Policy 2020 - A comprehensive framework for education
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a comprehensive framework for the transformation of the Indian education system. It was approved by the Union Cabinet on 29 July 2020 and is the first education policy of the 21st century in India.
The NEP 2020 aims to transform India's education system by 2040, making it more equitable, inclusive, and accessible to all. It emphasizes the development of critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning among students.
One of the fundamental principles of NEP 2020 is transparent self-disclosure by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The policy envisions that HEIs shall be responsible and accountable to stakeholders through transparent disclosure of all relevant records. The availability of information in the public domain is an important source of accountability.
