Abstract

Aligning the system with global norms and tackling long-standing issues, the New Education Policy intends to transform India's educational landscape. This article examines the policy thoroughly, highlighting its salient aspects, its consequences, and obstacles that may arise. Among the many goals of the strategy is the reform of elementary, intermediate, and tertiary education systems as well as the integration of technology and the promotion of inclusive education. Modifications to the curriculum and pedagogy, evaluation strategies, vocational education, professional development for educators, and school administration are significant innovations. This article analyzes the policy's effects on society, institutions, students, and educators using quantitative and qualitative methods, pointing out the benefits and drawbacks. Successful implementations can be shown in case studies, which also offer insights into what works best. The policy is under fire for its lofty aims, but for reasons related to inclusivity, resource allocation, and practicality. To improve the efficacy of the policy and guarantee its successful execution, suggestions are made. Educational outcomes and socioeconomic development can be greatly enhanced by the New Education Policy's emphasis on skill development and learner-centric environments. In addition to laying the groundwork for further study and policy development, this paper hopes to add to the continuing conversation on educational reform.
