Introduction
• Before the expiration of National Education Policy (NEP) for the period of 1998 to 2010, the
government announced the new National Education Policy (NEP) for the next decade in 2009,
called the "National Education Policy (2009)".As the Education Policy (1998 - 2010) was not
producing the desired results, the review process for the National Education Policy 1998-2010
was initiated in 2005 and the White Paper was finalized in March 2007. The White Paper
became the basis for development of the new Education Policy.
The Need for a new NEP
• There were two main reason that prompted Ministry of education to launch a policy before
time horizon of NEP 1998-2010
• 1. The previous policy was not producing desired result and performance remained deficient in
several aspects like quality and equity in getting education
• 2. The second reason behind the policy was international education for all (EFA).
Focus of NEP 2009
• This policy identifies the two fundamental causes that lie behind deficiencies in educational
performance.
• 1. Commitment Gap
• 2. Implementation Gap
• So, the policy focused on filling these gaps
