| Abstract: | Abstract The National Policy on Education (NPE) of 1986 and the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020 are two significant blueprints for higher education, which portray the aspirations and realities of their period. The NPE 1986 stressed equality, access, and quality, especially for disadvantaged groups. More importantly, it established a foundational structure; its application was restrained by heavy content and an examination-centric approach that highlighted rote learning and could not address fundamental deficiencies in providing funds and infrastructure. The then classic education pattern of the 10+2+3 structure was established through Operation Blackboard, which focused on minimum facilities. The aim of NPE 1986 was to ensure equal educational opportunities, advocate for gender equality, and expand educational infrastructure. Similarly, the NEP 2020 seeks systematic transformation to meet the demands of the 21st century, emphasising flexibility, interdisciplinarity, technology, and global integration. The NEP 2020 is a radical change, with a focus on holistic and multidisciplinary learning, digitalisation, global competitiveness, and flexible student pathways. Its key principles contain equity, flexibility, and internationalisation, supported by technological interventions and integrated learning. The central argument is that while the vision of NEP 2020 is sound and uniquely tailored to modern demands, its successful realisation is contingent upon a new level of political will, stakeholder collaboration, and resource mobilisation to bridge the persistent gap between policy and practice. |
