The education of the country will change by the smooth and holistic implementation of the new National Education Policy.
This is India of the new era. Has a new kind of thinking. Along with keeping pace with the world, keeping our tradition and values intact is also a part of it. We were once world gurus. With the light of knowledge that our sages gave to the world, the world progressed, but in the race of time, we fell behind. The time and circumstances of the country were also responsible for this. According to the needs of the 21st century, we have started rising again. Education plays an important role in the overall building of a country.
By abandoning the old-fashioned education policy made in 1986, we implemented the new education policy keeping in mind the needs of the future. On the completion of one year on July 29, Prime Minister Modi termed the new education policy as a great sacrifice in the great sacrifice of nation building. It is true, whatever country will learn, it will teach and its ethics and behavior will move forward in that direction. In view of the challenges of the Kovid-era, the biggest quality of this education policy with the features of all facilities is openness and pressure-free.
The challenges of the Indian education sector are no less. Education for all, affordable education, quality education and education that strengthens the economy is the need of the hour. The coming time is of Artificial Intelligence. Along with the Artificial Intelligence program to prepare the youth for the future, the work of creating digital and technology infrastructure in the country is in full swing. To make the country’s economy AI based, these steps can prove to be revolutionary in the field of education, but the big question is that in a country where even today with the availability of internet speed and smart phones, all the resources related to education are at an underdeveloped level. There, how useful these steps taken in the education sector will prove to be useful in keeping pace with the global world. In such a situation, after the completion of one year of the new education policy, its usefulness till now and the future path is a big issue for all of us today.
Education system plays an important role in the progress of any nation. Its obvious impact is reflected on society, culture, politics and economy. Therefore, in order to build a nation, first of all there is a need to make the education system strong, capable and nation-friendly. According to the report of the Dallers Committee of UNESCO, ‘The nature of education of any country should be in accordance with the culture and progress of that country.’ It would also be appropriate to add a word ‘nature’ to it. This means that the kind of education system of any country, the country and society will also become the same. Education is the cornerstone of any nation. The basic goal of education is character building and overall development of personality. Today, the crisis of character is in a way at the root of most of the world’s problems.
Two more supporting things are expected with this important goal of education. The country and social needs should be met through education and solutions to national and international challenges can be achieved. These three basic things are necessary for the construction of any country.
In the new education policy, the character building and personality development of the students have been taken into account from the pre-primary education itself. Students learn through games and activities, so that such students can develop creativity, creativity and the vision of innovation, such provisions have been made. Indian values, constitutional values and community service etc. have been included for character building. Along with theoretical knowledge for the overall development of the students, there is talk of incorporating vocational education, skill development in the curriculum from school education itself. In this way, by providing employable education to the students, the concept of making them job seekers from job seekers will be fulfilled. With this the country will also move towards self-reliance.
Research work has a very important contribution in the development of any country, for this provision has been made in the education policy for the formation of ‘National Research Establishment’. Only with the holistic development of the students, the needs of the country and society will be met and the students will be able to solve the national and international challenges. No country can be built by forgetting the past. In this education policy, along with the inclusion of Indian knowledge tradition, it has been said that the integration of ancient and modern through the provision of e-learning, online education etc. Similarly, there is also the matter of linking spirituality with science and technical education. In this regard, Dr. Rajendra Prasad had said, ‘The time has come when only the synergy of spirituality and science will be able to orient us towards development by providing security in the atomic age.’ In fact, the National Education Policy was a meaningful initiative in this direction.
