EQUITY IN SCHOOLING: INCLUSIVE PRACTICES UNDER NEP 2020

Authors:

Pinal Pujara

Abstract:

This scholarly investigation assesses the creation of equitable and inclusive pedagogy under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Framing education as a fundamental human right, this study describes the policy-based, structural and pedagogical interventions required to promote a barrier-free educational ecosystem at the primary and secondary levels. NEP 2020 emphasizes “universalization of education”, which leads to a school culture that recognizes the unique identity of every learner, but the transition from policy rhetoric to classroom reality is hampered by systemic inertia and lack of resources.
