In a scathing critique of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Congress President Sonia Gandhi slammed the BJP-led government for what she termed as centralizing power, commercializing education, and promoting communal biases. Gandhi accused the government of undermining state governments, increasing privatization, raising student fees, and revising educational content with ideological biases. The NEP 2020 has been a contentious issue with critics like Gandhi arguing that it erodes the autonomy of states in education matters and paves the way for the privatization of education. The policy has also faced backlash for allegedly pushing a certain ideological agenda in educational content. The criticism from Sonia Gandhi comes at a time when the NEP 2020 is being implemented across the country, with the government touting it as a revolutionary reform in the education sector. However, critics like Gandhi are raising concerns about the implications of the policy on the Indian education system. The debate around the NEP 2020 is likely to continue as different stakeholders weigh in on its pros and cons, shaping the future of education in India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
