Abstract: The foundational principle upon which our education systems rest is fundamentally based on the democratic values of: secularism, federalism, liberty, and equality. The New Education Policy (NEP), 2020 aims to abide by these principles as well. However, critics have argued that the NEP categorically fails to commit to these values. In this episode of Building Educated India, we participate in a conversation with Prof. Tarun Kanti Naskar – General Secretary of All India Save Education Committee (AISEC) and former Member of Legislative Assembly, West Bengal – to understand the basic tenets of the NEP. Particularly, the conversation delves into highlighting some of the perceived shortcomings of the policy and consequently on the fate of Indian higher education.
