Education is fundamental for achieving full human potential, developing an equitable and just
society, and promoting national development. Providing universal access to quality education is the
key to India’s continued ascent, and leadership on the global stage in terms of economic growth,
social justice and equality, scientific advancement, national integration, and cultural preservation.
Universal high-quality education is the best way forward for developing and maximizing our
country’s rich talents and resources for the good of the individual, the society, the country, and the
world. India will have the highest population of young people in the world over the next decade, and
our ability to provide high-quality educational opportunities to them will determine the future of our
country.
The global education development agenda reflected in the Goal 4 (SDG4) of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development, adopted by India in 2015 – seeks to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality
education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030. Such a lofty goal will require
the entire education system to be reconfigured 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.
The world is undergoing rapid changes in the knowledge landscape. With various dramatic scientific
and technological advances, such as the rise of big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence,
many unskilled jobs worldwide may be taken over by machines, while the need for a skilled
workforce, particularly involving mathematics, computer science, and data science, in conjunction
with multidisciplinary abilities across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, will be
increasingly in greater demand.
With climate change, increasing pollution, and depleting natural
resources, there will be a sizeable shift in how we meet the world’s energy, water, food, and
sanitation needs, again resulting in the need for new skilled labour, particularly in biology, chemistry,
physics, agriculture, climate science, and social science.
The growing emergence of epidemics and
pandemics will also call for collaborative research in infectious disease management and the development of vaccines and the resultant social issues heightens the need for multidisciplinary
learning. There will be a growing demand for humanities and art, as India moves towards becoming a
developed country as well as among the three largest economies in the world.-NEP 2020
