Towards A New National Education Policy: Proposals by Central Board of Secondary Education New Delhi

Abstract

From Preamble: India seeks today a relevant education. It seeks to consolidate on the tremendous progress already made in providing basic infrastructure and facilities for education at primary, secondary and tertiary stages including professional and research institutions. The new policy should be instrumental in rejuvenating and updating the existing national system and design of education so as to make it respond more fully to the needs and aspirations of the people and to enable the country to meet the difficult and demanding challenges of the 21st century. The new N.E.P. should make its own real contribution to bring about a social transformation, and the establishment of a new social order, integrate and unite the people of India and modernise society, while preserving what is authentically and abidingly Indian in our cultural heritage. The new policy should also enhance efficiency and productivity in all sectors, industrial, agricultural as well as the service sector.
