Comparative study of New Education Policy 2020 with National Education Policy, 1986.

Abstract:When the National Education Policy 1986 and 2020 were compared, it was noticed that the main points that remained unfinished in the 1986 National Education Policy have been reviewed. E.g. the 1980 policy recommended that 6 per cent of GDP should be spent on education. However, that recommendation was not implemented. Therefore, it has been included in the 2020 new education policy. Compared to 1986, many new educational policies are considered in this policy. The new academic policy recognizes interdisciplinary curricula. Then b. Ed’s curriculum integration has been extended to four years. The new education policy also envisages how to make education more inclusive by considering the age group of 3 to 18 instead of 6 to 14 in the Right to Education Act. The idea is to disseminate the education system through a new educational policy and the establishment of a National Education Commission by dissolving all institutions related to education. In addition to the assessment of students, the assessment of teachers will also be done in this new policy. Students will be assessed not only by the teacher but also by his classmate, the teacher co-curricular activity. The most important change is the change in the structure of education, which will now be 5 + 3 + 3 + 4, according to which the first five years of education will be known as formal education. There will be new job opportunities for teachers, in which the system like Shikshan Sevak has been discontinued. Eligibility test will be conducted for teacher recruitment. In addition; the first five years of education will be given in the mother tongue, including business education from class VI. The importance of board exams has been reduced and semester system will be used at secondary level. Efforts will be made to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor the new educational policy envisages a phased autonomy in higher education. According to the 1986 policy, the name “Ministry of Education” was changed to “Ministry of Human Resource Development”, but in the new education policy of 2020, it has been renamed as “Ministry of Education”. Technology should be used in teaching and learning, has thought.Keywords: NEP, HEDC, Ministry, system, education etc.
