Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday made a big statement about the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. He said that NEP 2020 is a visionary and useful policy, but its real success will be found only when it will be implemented correctly at the ground level. He appealed to the teachers to not only teach students, but also make them self -reliant and competent.
Chief Minister attended one day conference
The Chief Minister was attending a one-day conference based on NEP-2020 held in Srinagar. The theme of this conference was- “To empower education leaders for overall education.” Many academics of the state, school head, college principal and officials of the Department of Education participated in it.
Education has to be made according to the students
Omar Abdullah said that NEP 2020 should not make the mistake of understanding only one government document. This policy has been prepared keeping in mind the interests, abilities and local needs of the students. If it is implemented properly, then the coming generations will benefit greatly.
He said, “We have to ensure that studies in schools and colleges are not limited to books only. It is necessary to increase the ability of children to think and understand. It should be our goal not just good numbers, but also to make them a good person.”
The role of teachers is most important
The Chief Minister, especially emphasizing the role of teachers, said that teachers are the biggest link in implementing this policy. He asked the teachers to understand the new policy themselves and then teach the students accordingly. Also said that if the teacher wants, the NEP can be made completely successful.
Education should be according to local needs
Omar Abdullah also said that every field has its own problems and needs. Therefore, while implementing the education policy, it has to be kept in mind that it should be compatible with the language, lifestyle and needs of the local children. Only then education will prove beneficial for everyone.
