The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a comprehensive framework for education in India, approved by the Union Cabinet in July 2020, replacing the previous National Policy on Education of 1986. It sets out sweeping reforms including a new 5+3+3+4 school structure replacing the older 10+2 system, an emphasis on foundational literacy and numeracy, multilingual and multidisciplinary education, greater flexibility in higher education through multiple entry and exit points, and the eventual restructuring of higher education regulation under a single umbrella body.
