Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Thursday has put his weight behind the resolve to make education holistic, affordable, accessible and equitable, reports PTI.

On the one year anniversary of the new National Education Policy (NEP), Pradhan tweeted, "On 1 year of NEP2020, let us reiterate our resolve to make education holistic, affordable, accessible and equitable. Let us work together to realise the aspirations of a 21st-century #AatmanirbharBharat and to make India a vibrant knowledge economy.

"A year ago, on this day under the leadership of Hon PM @narendramodi, NEP2020– a visionary education policy of the 21st-century was launched with the aim to bring out the capabilities of each student, universalise education, build capacities and transform the learning landscape," he said, sending out a series of tweets.


It should be noted that last year, the centre came out with the New Education Policy (NEP) for the nation which replaced the National Policy on Education framed in 1986.

It is aimed at paving the way for transformational reforms in school and higher education systems to make India a global knowledge superpower.
