NEP, 2020 - Recorded Historic Changes in Education System By Mr. Sanjay Mehta - Partner & Ms. Lakshmi Gnana Tejaswi - Associate, Surana & Surana International Attorneys INTRODUCTION: • Education is fundamental for achieving full human potential, developing an equitable and just society, and promoting national development.

Pedagogy must evolve to make education more experiential, holistic, integrated, inquiry-driven, discovery-oriented, learner-centred, discussion-based, flexible, and, of course, enjoyable. The gap between the current state of learning outcomes and what is required must be bridged through undertaking major reforms that bring the highest quality, equity, and integrity into the system, from early childhood care and education through higher education.

I have no doubt that every aspect of the NEP 2020 is being discussed throughout the higher education ecosystem. I will today focus on the implications of the NEP on the aspects of Leadership, Governance, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Higher Education. 2.There are two aspects to the governance of any institution- external regulation and internal governance- and the NEP addresses both of them. I will briefly highlight the provisions relating to External Regulation and Self-Governance; then look at the implications and nuances of the proposed provisions. 3.With reference to External Regulation, the significant change of NEP 2020 is to create a single regulator for higher education institutions. Let us look at the pre-NEP scenario.We have several regulators in higher education: the UGC which governs universities, the AICTE for engineering education and the NCTE which regulates teachers’ education. NEP attempts to improve governance by bringing in a single regulator, the Higher Education Commission of India, to regulate all institutions barring medica...
