Authors

Abstract
The primary objective of the education system
in India is to ensure that all children have equal access to learning
opportunities and are able to achieve academic excellence, regardless of their
socio-economic or cultural background. This policy reiterates the commitment to
addressing the disparities in access, participation, and educational
achievements across all social categories within the context of school
education. It emphasizes that this objective will remain a primary focus in all
education sector development initiatives. One of the key goals of the National
Education Policy (NEP) is to enhance inclusivity and improve accessibility in
education for all pupils. The policy calls for the establishment of alternative
educational programs for children who may lack access to conventional schools,
with the expansion of early childhood care and education, in order to achieve
this objective. This article endeavors to evaluate the NEP policy from the
perspective of practitioners amidst the plethora of op-eds and criticism around
it. The current investigation focused on certain segments within the
"school education" domain, examining key aspects of the policy life
cycle throughout a five-year timeframe. This encompassed the stages of policy
formulation, implementation, and the absence of comprehensive evaluation.
