The draft of the New Education Policy (NEP), prepared by a group headed by K Kasturirangan, has been placed for comments by the government. However, since a draft is on display, let us look at what it has to offer in the context of school education. There is also a mention about setting up a separate regulatory authority for school education. Instead of pushing private schools to not use the term “public”, efforts should have been made to get to the bottom of the problem. Most importantly, the draft does not provide for a definitive and time-bound action plan.
