    MUMBAI: Paving way for large scale transformational reforms in Indian education system, the government has approved the National Education Policy 2020. This replaces the 34-year old National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986.

    This has introduced many reformations in the Indian education system starting with the renaming of the Ministry of Human Resource and Development as the Ministry of Education. The new policy envisions offering a new structure to the education system in the country.

    NEP 2020 proposes the revision and revamping of all aspects of the education structure, including its regulation and governance, to create a new system that is aligned with the aspirational goals of 21st-century education, while remaining consistent with India’s traditions and value systems.

    The industry applauded this reformatory step by the Prime Minister office and the Ministry of Education.

    “This policy was long due, to disrupt the current education system and bring the transformation to learn and turn the future Indian minds. I am delighted to see a diverse policy that aims to meet the future learning needs which will engrain practical skill-based learning to shape the learners being Industry ready. The policy very well addresses most of the critical issues that daunt our current education landscape and brings about a totality in terms of the paradigm shift that we need for educated and skilled people in India,” said Niranjan Hiranandani, Provost - HSNC University.

    Earlier in June, Mumbai’s three reputed colleges - K. C. College, H. R. College and Bombay Teachers’ Training College (BTTC) came together to form Maharashtra’s second cluster University; named as ‘HSNC University’.

    According to Hiranandani, the new policy will offer multiple exit points in studies, which means that one could actually get into employment at different ages, different times, and different levels of education which is a thoughtful strategic structure.
