Syed Azharuddin | NEP – 2019: Analysis & Recommendations | EP 02
The Indian education system is plagued with a number of issues, be it concerning accessibility, quality, equity, lack of humanity and values, discrimination, hate content, etc. Today, we are in need of an education system that would be erected on constitutional ethos and ensure that accessibility, quality and equity is ensured for all, along with the necessary improvement in curriculum and pedagogy that would ensure India‟s true progress in every way. We need an educational system that would engender critical thinking and research to improve human life and educational campuses that would be interactive spaces for productive critical discourses, discussions and dissent. The draft NEP – 2019 is rife with contradictions and exclusions. It breaks Constitutional structures and values, promotes commercialisation and politicizes educational system by centralising all aspects of it. In this regard a report, “NEP – 2019: Analysis & Recommendations” has been prepared by cert in collaboration with the Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) and the Centre for Educational Research & Training (CERT) has been prepared and released analysing the draft NEP and makes recommendations to fix the issues with it.
