NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2020
First Education Policy of the 21st Century
National Education Policy 2020 is the first education policy of the 21st century. It has an inclusive framework defining the future of education in the country starting from the elementary to the higher education level.
It aims to address the many growing developmental imperatives of this country. To this effect, the policy proposes transformation of all aspects of the education structure, including its regulation and governance, to suit the 21st century education. It emphasizes development of creative potential while remaining consistent with India’s traditions and value systems. The policy focuses more on practical and experiential learning which will lead to instilling the 21st century skills of creativity and critical thinking in the children. It suggests the use of latest tools and technologies and improving the gross enrollment ratio by providing access to high quality education to everyone irrespective of socio-economic background. Colleges and institutions have started getting aligned with the new national education policy. Here are some of the initiatives which can help an educational institute in through this endeavor.
ABOUT CURRICULUM EDUCATION
Providing universal access to high quality education is the key to develop individual potential and present India’s ascent on a global level. Our ability to provide opportunities of acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes to young minds is going to determine future of the country.
NEP 2020 aims at transforming the curriculum-based education. It also suggests appropriate use of technologies and tools to make equitable distribution of quality education resources and help improve gross enrollment ratio (GER). Accordingly, pedagogy must be more experiential, learner-centered, discussion based and enjoyable. Our Content Delivery Express (CDX) has all the above features to create more engaging and enriched online learning video lectures for University and College curriculums. This helps the educational institutions to comply with the new mandate of creating 40% video lecture sessions. In addition, the institution would own high quality digital learning resources while competing with global players in the near future.
ABOUT CDX FRAMEWORK
CDX FRAMEWORK
“This National Education Policy envisions an education system rooted in Indian ethos that contributes directly to transforming India, that is Bharat, sustainably into an equitable and vibrant knowledge society, by providing high-quality education to all, and thereby making India a global knowledge superpower.” – NEP 2020

The framework integrates many innovative methodologies, techniques, and tools to monitor and achieve the learning outcomes. Tools and practices like Flip Classroom adoption are possible over the platform which can be used for complementary or supplementary teaching.
ABOUT LEARNING ENGINEERING
LEARNING ENGINEERING
“Pedagogy must evolve to make education more experiential, holistic, integrated, discovery-oriented, learner-centric, discussion-based, flexible, and, of course, enjoyable.” – NEP 2020
The National Education Policy 2020 underlines the importance of a pedagogical approach that is based competencies and learning outcomes. Ensuring learning in the new millennial environment calls for a radical combination of best of the approaches, technology and tools, and the latest teaching-learning principles. We call it Learning Engineering. It's the foundation for creating content which is more engaging. Accordingly, we have distilled and integrated best practices based on global research, expertise and experience.

ABOUT CONTENT DEVELOPMENT
CONTENT DEVELOPMENT
“Education thus, must move towards less content, and more towards learning about how to think critically and solve problems, how to be creative and multidisciplinary, and how to innovate, adapt, and absorb new material in novel and changing fields.” – NEP 2020
Content is the king. In the context of learning, content development is a key process. Content, when designed and delivered properly, engages and motivates learners by arousing their curiosity. It also develops subject and language competency. For making engaging content, an appropriate mix of various mediums like text, image, video, talking-head video, animation, simulation, VR, AI, and virtual labs is required. Our media experts and pedagogy researchers have a collective experience of more than 50 years. We not only help create contents and enrich it further but train and hand-hold faculty members, professors, subject matter experts on engineering this learning process.
