Shashi Tharoor Congress leader and former HRD minister questioned the government for not introducing it in Parliament first, although Shashi Tharoor has welcomed the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020

Shashi Tharoor also acknowledged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government has selected unrealistic targets in the education category through the NEP, In a series of tweets
On July 30, Shashi Tharoor indicated in his first tweet that There is much to welcome in what we have seen of the #NewEducationPolicy2020 announced by @DrRPNishank. Various proposals made by a few of us appear to have been considered. Nevertheless, the question remains why this was not sent before Parliament first for meeting.

He at that point proceeded to feature the highlights of the arrangement, which he said present unmistakable and feasible targets. He said that the government ought to guarantee that yearning is coordinated by usage.

Tharoor explained that he have supported the amendment of the 1986 National Education Policy since my days in MHRD, to carry it into the 21st century. I am happy the Modi Govt has at long last gotten a handle on the bother, regardless of whether it took them six years to do as such. Challenge is to guarantee the goal is coordinated by usage.

For example, the objective of 6% of GDP to be spent on education was first enunciated in 1948! Each Govt explains this target& then faces its own Finance Ministry. Over the most recent 6 years, Modi Govt’s use in instruction has declined in genuine terms. In what manner will it reach 6%? He added.

Discussing the spend of the government in training area, he stated, that the objectives of half Gross Enrolment Ratio in advanced education and 100% in optional school are commendable, however, when you understand it’s presently 25.8% in Higher Edn and 68% in Class 9, you wonder if such targets are any more practical than the Govt’s solar-energy commitments at Paris.

The NEP ought to have offered progressively tangible&realisable focuses for research. All out speculation on research& development in India declined from 0.84% of GDP in 2008 to 0.6% in 2018. There are right now just 15 analysts in India for each 100,000 of the populace, contrasted and 111 in China, Tharoor said in his last tweet on the issue.
