New Education 2020:
The National Education Policy was framed in 1986 and modified in 1992.
More
than three decades have passed since the previous Policy.
During this period
significant changes have taken place in our country, society economy, and the
world at large. It is in this context that the education sector needs to gear
itself towards the demands of the 21st Century and the needs of the people and
the country.
Quality, innovation and research will be the pillars on which
India will become a knowledge superpower. Clearly, a new Education Policy is
needed.
