The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a revolutionary step toward redefining India's education system. Launched after 34 years, NEP aims to make learning more holistic, child-centric, skill-driven, and adaptable to 21st-century demands.

The policy introduces a new 5+3+3+4 structure, replacing the old 10+2 model, starting from age 3 to 18 to strengthen early childhood learning. A significant shift includes promoting mother tongue/regional languages as the medium of instruction till Grade 5, along with a three-language formula. Coding, financial literacy, and vocational training will start as early as Grade 6, empowering students with future-ready skills.

In higher education, the policy brings multiple entry and exit points, a common college entrance test, and a push for interdisciplinary learning. It replaces rote memorization with conceptual understanding and skill-based learning, supported by holistic progress cards to assess students beyond academics.

With increased digital access, teacher training, and plans for international collaboration, NEP 2020 lays the foundation for an inclusive, flexible, and forward-thinking education system. It envisions a future where every child in India receives quality education tailored to their needs and potential.
