A study on issues and challenges of NEP (National Education Policy) 2020 in primary education

Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a landmark reform in India's education system, aiming to overhaul the structure of education at all levels. In primary education, NEP 2020 emphasizes a foundational focus on early childhood care, equitable and inclusive education, and technology integration. While its vision is progressive, the implementation faces significant challenges. This paper examines the key issues and challenges related to the implementation of NEP 2020 in primary education, including infrastructure, teacher training, assessment reforms, language barriers, and resource allocation, offering recommendations to overcome these challenges.
