Empowering Women through Education: Investigating the Impact of India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 on Career Advancement

Abstract:

This study investigates the transformative impact of India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 on women's career advancement, employing a descriptive research methodology. Through surveys and interviews with educators, policymakers, and women, this research explores NEP 2020's implications for gender inclusivity, skill development, and access to higher education. Findings reveal NEP 2020's potential to enhance women's career opportunities by addressing gender disparities and promoting holistic development. However, challenges such as implementation gaps and societal norms persist. The study contributes insights into the role of education policies in fostering gender equality and empowerment, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to overcome barriers and maximize NEP 2020's impact.
