New Delhi: The New Education Policy focuses on learning instead of studying and goes ahead of the curriculum to focus on critical thinking.
In this policy, we have stressed on passion, practicality and performance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said.
He addressed through video conferencing at the inaugural session of the Governor’s Conference on New Education Policy.
Modi said that the work for NEP 2020 started around five years ago and suggestions of more than two lakh people have been incorporated to formulate the new policy.
The Prime Minister expressed confidence that NEP 2020 will give direction to country’s goal of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and help India become more self-reliant in future.
‘True knowledge liberates minds. With the new NEP 2020, youth can study subjects as per their interest. New Education Policy is important for fulfilling national aspirations,’ noted Modi.
With vocational exposure right from early age, our youth will get better prepared for life. Our youth’s participation in the global job market and employ-ability in India will increase with practical learning,’ added the Prime Minister.
