Abstract
Education in the twenty-first century is undergoing a profound
transformation driven by rapid technological advancements and the growing need
for innovation in pedagogy. In this context, the National Education Policy
(NEP) 2020 marks a historic milestone in India’s educational reform,
envisioning a learner-centred, flexible, and technology-enabled education system.
The policy recognizes technology as a powerful enabler for achieving
inclusivity, accessibility, and quality learning outcomes across diverse social
and geographical contexts. Technology Integration and Educational Reform:
Evaluating NEP 2020 as a Framework for Transformative Schooling in India
explores how the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has positioned technology
as a catalyst for educational transformation. Using a secondary research
method, the study draws on policy documents, government reports, scholarly articles,
and digital learning frameworks to critically assess the integration of
technology in Indian school education. The study primarily aims to analyse how
technology-driven initiatives under NEP 2020 are reshaping teaching–learning
practices. It examines key initiatives such as DIKSHA, SWAYAM, which promote
blended learning, experiential education, and equitable digital access. These
initiatives signify a paradigm shift from conventional teacher-centred
instruction to learner-centred, competency-based, and interactive pedagogies.
The findings suggest that while NEP 2020 has established a strong policy
foundation for technology integration, the success of its implementation
depends on effective teacher training, robust digital infrastructure, and
context-sensitive pedagogical innovations. The study concludes that sustained
investment, continuous evaluation, and collaboration between policymakers,
educators, and communities are essential for realizing NEP 2020’s vision of
transformative, technology-enabled schooling.
