The main aim of the National Education Policy is to make the youth’s future-ready while focusing on the National Values and National Goals.
He said that “the policy lays the foundation of the New India, the 21st Century India, the education and skills needed for the youth to strengthen India, to advance it to new heights of development and to further empower the citizens of India to make them suitable for maximum opportunities”
For years our education system remained unchanged leading to lopsided priorities where people were focusing on either becoming a doctor, an engineer, or a lawyer. He said there was no mapping of the Interest, Ability, and Demand,” He added.
The policy is formed keeping in mind two biggest questions, first is whether our education system motivates our youth for Creative, Curiosity, and Commitment Driven Life? And whether our education system empowers our youth, helps in building an Empowered Society in the country?
While the new structure is 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 curriculum is a step in this direction.
