IMPACT OF NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2020 ON RURAL PRIMARY EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT

The New Education Policy announced by the Ministry of Human Resource Development aims at transforming the
Indian education system to meet the needs of the 21st century. It aims at making the education system holistic, flexible,
multidisciplinary, aligned to the needs of the 21st century and the 2030 Sustainable Development goals. Even though
there is a need to think whether the villages in India will cope with all the reformation of education system through
NEP2020. India is the country of villages. It has of about six lack villages. It is supposed that the villages in India are
still striving to develop and avail all the modern facilities. The New Education Policy has adopted 5+3+3+4 model for
school education. It would help the child for formative years at early stage of life. As par the provisions in NEP 2020
the digitalization, multilingual and the like approaches cannot be implemented as it is. Just we need to think of the
questions regarding the villages. What about the schools where the students don’t go in them? There are schools but
they don’t have their own buildings. What about the schools where we find only one teacher? What about the village
which don’t have schools in them.
