Why in News?

Recently, the Pradhan Mantri Colleges of Excellence was inaugurated by the Union Home Minister in all 55 districts of Madhya Pradesh.

Key Points

  • Madhya Pradesh has become the first state to implement the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
    • These colleges are started by the state government, to offer courses aligned with the New Education Policy 2020.
    • NEP was introduced to focus on holistic development of youth rather than just awarding degrees.
  • It includes teaching both academic subjects and life skills. The emphasis is on encouraging out-of-the-box thinking instead of traditional thinking in students.

National Education Policy 2020

  • The National Education Policy 2020 seeks to tackle the evolving development needs of India.
    • It calls for a comprehensive overhaul of the education system, including its regulations and management, to establish a modern system that aligns with 21st-century educational goals, including Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), while respecting India's cultural heritage and values.
  • It replaces the thirty-four year old National Policy on Education, 1986, modified in 1992 (NPE 1986/92).
