The National Education Policy 2020 marks a transformative step in redefining the educational landscape of India by emphasizing holistic development, multidisciplinary learning, skill enhancement, employability, and equitable access to education. In the rapidly changing global and national scenario, education is no longer confined to the acquisition of degrees alone; rather, it has become a powerful instrument for developing competencies, fostering innovation, and ensuring inclusive social progress.
The present edited volume, Skill, Employability and Equality in the Light of National Education Policy 2020, is an academic attempt to explore the multidimensional aspects of skill development, employment opportunities, and social equality within the framework of NEP 2020. The policy envisions an education system that equips learners with practical skills, critical thinking abilities, vocational competencies, and ethical values, thereby bridging the gap between education and employment while promoting social justice and inclusivity.
This book brings together scholarly contributions from researchers, teacher educators, academicians, and professionals who have critically examined various themes related to skill-oriented education, employability enhancement, equity and inclusion, vocational education, teacher preparation, technology integration, entrepreneurship, and educational reforms envisioned under NEP 2020. The chapters included in this volume provide valuable insights, innovative perspectives, and research-based discussions that contribute meaningfully to contemporary educational discourse.
