Congress Criticizes National Education Policy on Sixth Anniversary, Citing Implementation Issues
On the sixth anniversary of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh criticized the policy, dubbing it the 'Nagpur Education Policy.' He alleged it was implemented without parliamentary discussion or approval by the Central Advisory Board of Education. Ramesh cited the resignation of former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, a credibility crisis at the National Testing Agency, and delays in the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill as signs of the policy's weakening. He contrasted NEP 2020 with the 1986 policy, which underwent extensive parliamentary debate.
