Technology is helping turn NEP 2020 vision into reality in classrooms

When India unveiled the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, it marked a bold step towards reshaping education for the needs of today's learners. With an emphasis on flexibility, creativity, critical thinking, and multilingualism, the policy aims to create a more inclusive and future-ready education system.

However, policies alone do not change classroom practices. That is where Educational Technology (EdTech) stepped in, acting as a powerful bridge between vision and reality. Across schools in India, technology is enabling real transformation, helping NEP’s ideas come to life in meaningful, measurable, and inclusive ways.

Beyond Rote Learning

NEP 2020 calls for a shift from memorisation to experiential, hands-on learning that fosters curiosity and creativity. It also highlights the need for equitable access to digital resources, especially for Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Groups

Technology enables this transformation through virtual labs, coding platforms, and gamified tools. Even schools without physical science labs can now conduct experiments online. Tools such as design software and interactive simulations are making Mathematics and Science more engaging.

A 2023 survey by Education Week found that project-based learning, including real-world problems and hands-on solutions, enhances learners’ critical thinking skills by 40% and collaboration skills by 30%. Therefore, with technologically enhanced innovations now reaching CBSE and ICSE schools in rural areas, education is set to be more democratic and exciting.
