“National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is like the DNA of the Indian society,” stated Sanjay Kumar, Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, New Delhi.
Mr. Kumar was speaking as the chief guest at the two-day national conference on ‘National Curriculum Framework for School Education’ organised by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) here on Sunday.
He said that the new education system introduced by the Centre would act as a driving force for the younger generations to scale new heights in the next 25 years. “For every hundred children who join Class 1 in the country, only 75 children continue up to the Class 10 and only 56 children reach Class 12. The problem of dropouts must be addressed and eliminated completely by 2030,” he said.
