ABSTRACT | ||
Education plays a powerful role in building nation. Education decides the future of the nation and the destiny of its people. The impact of education is long lasting one in terms of growth and development of the nation and its citizen. The role of education and its importance cannot be ignored in today’s scenario. The growth and development of education can be seen if we compare the pre-independence and post-independence era. After 34 years the Indian Government is going to change the way we study, and this is the third amendment in the education policy in India. The New Education Policy 2020 visualized to provide a quality education which is beneficial to meet the growing economy in India. The new policy is aiming to achieving majorly three aspects such as highest quality, equity and integrity in the education system from schooling to higher education. The current education policy existing in India is concentrating majorly on theoretical aspects which lack the practical training among the students, i.e., the major drawback for meeting the global job opportunities. Therefore, the Education Policy 2020 is aiming to develop creative potential, skill and analytical thinking which are the need in the global market. Thus, in this backdrop the present paper is an attempt to know the society’s response from the various stakeholders where they can know in prior what they are going to learn and how it is beneficial to develop themselves to meet the future changes in economy and also at the same time will try to focus on the level of awareness and future impact of the New Education Policy 2020 by asking a series of questions floating among the different section of stakeholders in the society. |
