Constraints and Ways for Implementing National Eduction Policy - 2020 in the state of Tamil Nadu.

Abstract The National Education Policy - 2020 is considered crucial for the Indian education system (Kennedy Andrew Thomas, et al., 2024) because it aims to fundamentally transform education by making it more inclusive, equitable, and holistic, focusing on developing 21st-century skills (highereducationplus.com, 2024) like critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, while integrating vocational training and promoting quality teacher training across all levels of education. However, the implementation of the NEP has sparked concerns in Tamil Nadu, where politicians and some educators argue that it exacerbates existing inequalities rather than bridging them. Issues such as lack of access to quality infrastructure, trained teachers, digital resources, and the emphasis on multilingual education have made it harder for rural students to cope with the changes. They argue that the focus on multiple languages and changes in curriculum place an extra burden on students who already struggle with basic access to education. Additionally, Tamil Nadu has been advocating for its two-language policy, which focuses on Tamil and English. Without political will and change, implementing NEP 2020 in holistic manner with the satisfaction and acceptance of all stakeholder will be herculean task in Tamil Nadu as on date.
