The National Education Policy lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potential of each individual. It is based on the principle that education must develop not only cognitive capacities - both the ‘foundational capacities ’of literacy and numeracy and ‘higher-order’ cognitive capacities, such as critical thinking and problem solving – but also social, ethical, and emotional capacities and dispositions. The book “New Education Policy 2020: A New Paradigm to Empower India” is a great introductory book in whicheditors lay out the major sides for the major issues of the previous and the new education policies, from common core to school, college, vocational education, experiential learning and subject choice, while examining the current global scenario and thinking on what, exactly, constitutes a good education. Besides, the book also offers one of the best explanations of the common core problems, challenges and solutions given in NEP 2020.
