NEED OF NEP The world is quickly changing with more emphasis

being given on sustainable development and tackling

issues such as climate change and even growing
pandemics.
In order to tackle these issues, rote learning
won't be enough. There is a need for a type
ofeducation that enhances the rationality,
creativity and problem solving ability of learners so
that they can contribute to the research that
tackles such issues. The new national education
policy lays particular emphasis on this.
 In 2015, India adopted the Goal 4 (SDG4) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
This goal reflects the global education development agenda and seeks to “ensure inclusive
and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030.
To achieve such a lofty goal, India had to introduce a new education policy to support and
foster learning, so that all of the critical targets and goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development can be achieved
In the current times, students should learn more and more about their
responsibilities in this world and should know about their roots and morals
and ethics taught in the ancient times so that they can become a better
citizen. The new education policy aims to foster such values as it is based on
the principle that education must also develop social, ethical, and emotional
capacities of learners
In the current circumstances, Education must move towards less content, and
more towards learning about how to be creative and how to innovate. Education
must also build character, enable learners to be ethical, rational, compassionate,
and caring, an idea that is similar to Gandhian philosophy of education.This is
what the new education policy of India aims to do
