0:14 hello everyone welcome to study iqis English Channel my name is shubam Sagar and today we'll be talking about a very important issue a very important issue related to education that is NEP 2020 National Education policy 2020 upsc has asked this particular question a question related to NP 2020 in Mains it's very important from every exam perspective and even for general knowledge awareness as well so is has it been a great success or a great failure just give me a second so why we have to discuss about this particular topic because there was an Indian Express article and there is not like single Indian Express article multiple Indian Express article has

1:01 appeared or has been there on January 29 2025 and you can see it on page 12 I think there are two articles related to aser and relationship between as and NEP 2020 so ASR annual status of Education report it's this report again in upsc prelims upsc has asked question on ASR annual status of Education report who publishes it NGO pram why this is very important just like when we talk about education we generally cite lcet Journal when we talk about polity perspective any news related to poity or whom we should recommend or which commission reports are very you know reliable then we talk about ncwc National commission to review the working of Constitution which is also known as wenat chalia

1:47 commission similarly when it comes to education this as annual status of Education report is very important so something has happened Ann annual status of Education report they are talking about something they're talking about and you can understand this article in a much better manner if you know something about NEP that is National Education policy 2020 so this National Education policy 2020 has arrived after like 34 years this has replaced the earlier National Education policy of 1986 which committee has recommended this NEP 2020 K casturi rangan committee so first of all we'll talk something about this NEP 2020 so so that you have a basic idea about what this NEP 2020 is and how according to ASR whether NP 2020 is

2:32 doing some good or this is just you know letters and which has no or minimal meaning at all so we'll talk about it so NEP 2020 based on the recommendation of K casturi rangan this is very important and it has replaced 34y Old National policy in education 1986 all these facts you have to keep it in mind earlier this is or he is K casturi rangan honorable K kasturi rangan sir please remember this thing that there is a question question for you also which you can write in the comment section education comes under which list Union list State list or concurrent list now when we are talking about National Education policy 2020 earlier we had a 10 plus2 policy like 10 plus2 education system and it comes till secondary level you do class 10 and then 11th and 12th now it is 5+ 3+ 3+ 4

3:19 government is breaking it up so that they can pay attention to each and every level you know from preschool to secondary then there are so many good things which has been done in NEP 2020 they have a they have different Target when it comes to ger gross enrollment ratio how much gross enrollment ratio they want to achieve in secondary level or at secondary level let's say they want to achieve 100% ger again these are some terms which you have to understand then only you will understand articles related to ASR or any such education related article so gross enrollment ratio means let's say government is under its NEP 2020 is aiming for 100% ger gross enrollment ratio by 2030 we are just taking year so that means government wants all the children 100% means all the children who are in the

4:04 age group or you know all the children who will be who are or who can study secondary level they have to study 100% gross enrollment ratio till from preschool to secondary level by 2030 similarly government has certain aims when it comes to NEP 2020 how much Gr gross enrollment ratio do you want to achieve in higher education that is like btech ba ma Etc so there the aim is 50% by 2035 and then you will see these things how as is talking certain you know certain things related to all these findings not only G then there are certain things related to literacy and numeracy how much let's say there is a class five student how much he's able to understand a class two text how much he's able to read a class two text how much he is able to do division and subtraction up to his level so there are

4:51 so many questions which will be answered here cool so what are the important points of NEP 2020 which you have to keep in mind earlier we had 10 plus2 policy now we have 5+ 3+ 3+ 4 this is fine this you may have read it so many times there are certain States in our country which has tussle or which had tussle with Indian government regarding implementation of NEP 2020 Tamil Nadu government is one of them so you will see they and you it is a news current means you know once in a while it it comes in news that Tamil Nadu is not ready to implement certain provision of NE 2020 because they had apprehensions about ver language whether vernacular language or Tamil will be sidelined in NE 2020 according to NE 2020 this particular provision have a look at it

5:37 media of instruction up till grade five that is compulsory it will be in vernacular language and government is trying to ensure that this continues till grade eight again these are very important features please keep it in mind for upsc pre 2025 or any other exam which you are giving so government is very very concerned about promoting vernacular education all these things are written here 5 + 3 + 3+ 4 you can have a look at it un unversal access for children for of 3 to 6 years again have a look at this slide I will tell you what is important see you may have heard about Susan Singh rajput he was a very you know one of the best intellectual movie you know actor you may have witnessed so he was a Dropout from DTU Delhi Technical University and he had always this you know feeling inside him that I was not able to complete or my degree now the option is there in NEP

6:24 2020 that if you have completed let's say two years of your btech program or any uation program you can take a diploma certificate of up until that year and you can come later and you can complete your course all these things are there in NEP 2020 which is or which are things to be commended or features or Provisions to be commended now see here now this point is related to the current as report which we'll be reading so what is the aim of NEP 2020 they want to have Universal Foundation literacy and numeracy in all primary school for all Learners by 2025 like for like by grade three by 2025 which year we are in currently we are in 2025 so what they are saying is let's say there is a class three student grade three student so he

7:10 should be able to all the class three students should be able to read a class two text that is the aim of NEP 2020 by this particular year then we have talked about these things secondary level how much gross enrollment ratio they want 100% by 2030 in higher education they want 50% ger we are currently hovering around 20 yd% and we want to reach 50% by 2035 these are some facts which you have to keep in mind again and education has to be 6% of GDP again you can post it in the comment section how much is government currently spending on education what percentage of G GDP government is currently spending on education also give the source of yours which you are referring to plus how much percent of GDP government is spending on

7:56 health again give the source which you are referring to let's say n 5 or any other source for health you can post it in the comment section fine now National Education policy you have seen all the features you can have a look at it let's focus on the article what this article is saying article is saying that when we had covid pandemic at that scenario in that scenario what has happened our education was impacted to a great degree but now we are recovering and we are coming back to the prepandemic level of Education or even we are doing better than that and again ASR report this particular report and this particular article by ma'am is giving some facts you can use these facts in any exam you want because you have to always substantiate your point so what she is saying in this article so let's say there is a class three student and he's

8:43 reading a class two text so earlier only 23% in 2014 see here 2022 which was like the year years which were impacted by pandemic the most it this whole scenario like one out of five class 3 student was able to read a class two book that was the scenario in 2022 and this was lesser than 2014 also now we have even bettered or we have even reached a level of 2018 so this is what this ASR report is saying ma'am is saying that we are doing better when it comes to reading skills when it comes to calculation skills all these things are coming back to prepandemic level and in certain areas we are even doing better than the pre-pandemic level class five proportion of children reading class 2 level 2014 48% 2018 50%

9:29 and again 2022 when we were impacted by pandemic then we it fell and now again we have recovered to 48.8% so all these things are showing that we are recovering when it comes to education front when it comes to basic skills in you know reading and numeracy I will show you the arithmetic skills also class three subtraction skills again these are the facts which you have to keep in mind which will help you in substantiating your point so again 2024 we have reached to 33.7% which is the best out of all the years which we have taken 2022 which was impacted by pandemic it was around 26% class five division skill again in 2024 it is highest in years so we are doing much better now the impact which we had or which people faced Class 2 class three class 5 students which they fa during

10:15 the pandemic period we are recovering now there is a very interesting fact in this particular article which is talking about that government schools are doing much better than private schools private schools has or have still not recovered from the pandemic impact there still reeling under the impact of pandemic so this point also you have to keep it in mind this is a very interesting observation by this article that government schools they are doing much better private schools are still reeling under the impact of pandemic their students are like the performance is still equal to the level when around like 2022 which was impacted by the pandemic year and then they have given some figures so this is an interesting observation what else so now let's come to the conclusion part according to the maam according to ma'am who has written

11:01 this article and she's not a any normal lady she's the director of ASR Foundation NGO pram who is publishing this report again another question for you NGO pram they are publishing this annual status of Education report do they publish it annually or they publish it banally and if they publishing it Bally have they always published Bally or they have started it from some year in 20 you know 201 1 zos so you can post it in the comment section what is your answer it is similar to pravasi bhas how we celebrate pravasi BH dasas these days fine so again ma'am is saying that any 2020 and their policies and how different states are coming together and promoting cooperative federalism all these factors have played a crucial role how we are recovering from the impact of

11:48 pandemic as far as education is concerned and we are reaching the pre-pandemic level or in certain areas we have even bettered the records which we had during the prepandemic level so we are doing good now and NEP 2020 which is promoting cooperative federalism which is promoting you know again if you go back and see one of the provision which we have seen in NEP 2020 it was this Universal Foundation literacy and numeracy in all primary school for all Learners by grade three by 2025 so it's not like uni it's Universal it's 100% we are around 48 50% but still we are doing better and NEP 2020 has a major role to play in that so that's what ma'am is saying that's what this article is saying for the first time a nationwide systemic push has been done and statewise Improvement has been done

12:35 again here you have to pay attention to important terms important words ma'am is saying in low performing States utar Pradesh Bihar madh Pradesh we can understand there's an acronym also which is bimaru if you know the full form of these particular bimaru acronym you can post it in the comment section why Tamil Nadu is there in the low performing State this is again a you know matter of you can think about it how Tamil Nadu is here because Southern States generally they perform very good in all these social indicators be health education you know so why because again we have discussed it and you time and again you may have heard it that Tamil Nadu generally do not follow NP 2020 in in entirety because they have some apprehension regarding NEP 2020 plus education is not exclusively under Union

13:20 list that you have to post in the comment section education comes under which particular list so since Tamil Nadu does not adhere to all the provision of N20 20 and they are not you know doing what central government is directing them to that's why according to different service they have been kept in low performing States one of the reason one of the prominent reason and then utar Pradesh is the one of the low performing States and they are also doing much better now and NEP 2020 has a major role to play in that cooperative federalism states are coming together all these factors are contributing to it fine so final takeaway is NEP 2020 is doing good but has it been a you know humongus success no because according to them they wanted to attain that all class three students are able to read Class 2 text that has not yet happened

14:07 so still there is a long way to go it's not a foolproof success it's not a complete failure it's a work in progress but at least something has been done and we are witnessing a United push which is actually a good thing and that's why ma'am is saying that ASI report shows Improvement in learning outcomes after pandemic signals initial success of NEP that is National Education policy but still there is a long road ahead of us and because education and health these are two social parameters where government has to work a lot currently we are witnessing a demographic dividend and education is one way to tap that demographic dividend otherwise it can turn into a demographic disaster so that's it for this particular article you can post in the comment section education comes under which list and

14:54 again do you think NEP is working or do you think there are still some Lunas if you want to contribute more to this article if you have your more your own points rather you can post it in the comment section take care be blessed see you soon Tata by
