ROLE OF INDIAN NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICIES IN MODERNIZATION OF EDUCATION

Abstract

In the pre-independence period, the British thought about education in their own way. Educational recommendations were made through Charter Act, Macaulay Minutes, Lord Bentinck's Education Policy, Wood's Khalita, Hunter Commission, Calcutta University Commission, Hartog Committee, Abort Wood, Sargent Plan. At the time of independence, basic facilities, universalization of education, quality, and neglect of regional languages were the conditions. Recommendations have been made in the National Education Policy 1968, 1986, 2020 for an education system that contributes to development by removing the defects in the education system. Our education system is on a journey from right to education to proper education. The National Education Policy is expected to achieve the five objectives of equity, competence, accessibility, quality and accountability.
