Much is being spoken about the New Education Policy 2020 and how it is going to revolutionise the education sector. The government has claimed that the policy will bring uniformity in the academic calendars of all the educational institutions and mold the learning in accordance with the needs of the times. Across the country, the education sector has turned into a factory over the years which produces unemployable graduates, postgraduates and doctoral scholars who have neither the skills nor any expertise to earn a living in our fast-paced world. All that they have done is to continue along a predetermined path, right from schools, then colleges and finally universities. Once they complete their university degrees, they have to grope in darkness in order to find a respectable living. In that sense, the New Education Policy will tap the immense talent in the country and put it to productive use which will help in making India a five trillion dollar economy in the next five years, as envisioned by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, there is another aspect which the government needs to weigh and explore in order to make education a sector which is meant for the larger good of the society. If the government is talking about having a uniform academic calendar for all the educational institutions, prudence demands that the government should be bold enough to also formulate and impose a uniform syllabus for all the classes, starting right from nursery till a student passes out of the university as a scholar. This will serve a dual purpose. One, it will bring the educational institutions on one platform in the true sense. Having a uniform syllabus, all the students will get groomed as equals. They will learn from the same books and their mental development will pick a common trajectory. This will immensely help in talent hunt. Two, it will also end the mafia of private schools which continues to feed on the vulnerabilities of parents who want to provide good education to their children. The books provided to students in private schools in itself is a big mafia which will have no options but to down their shutters with the imposition of common syllabus across all the educational institutions. Under PM Modi, the Union government has shown the will and the zeal to do the unthinkable. Now is the time to show that it is not the unharnessed private sector but the government of the day which will get to decide what is taught in educational institutions and what not.
