Roadmap for Implementing NEP 2020 in Assam: Addressing Curriculum and Inclusivity Challenges

Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to transform India's educational landscape by 2047, but its successful implementation faces significant challenges. Critics argue that existing infrastructure and educational materials are inadequate to meet NEP’s ambitious goals. There are concerns about incorporating the Indian Knowledge System into the curriculum and shifting historical narratives to more nationalist perspectives. This study explores the roadmap for implementing NEP 2020 in Assam, focusing on teacher-student ratios, curriculum development, and infrastructure needs. It addresses syllabus integration of Vedic and historical texts, flexible medium of instruction, and urban-rural educational disparities. The study also examines recruitment processes for teachers and the need for practical facilities, transport for students and teachers, and adequate resources for sports and physical education. It emphasizes enhancing infrastructure, streamlining resource allocation, and adopting innovative solutions to achieve the NEP 2020 objectives and contribute to India's development vision.
