- Former ISRO chief Dr. Kasturirangan led Committee submitted the draft National Educational Policy (NEP) to HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal.
- It was constituted in 2017 to revise NEP.
- The existing NEP was framed in 1986 under Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and later revised in 1992 under PM Narasimha Rao.
- The policy draft recommends:
- Incorporation of Indian knowledge systems in the curriculum
- Constituting a National Education Commission
- Curbing arbitrary fees hikes by private schools.
- The expert panel also proposed massive transformation in Teacher Education by moving all teacher preparation and education programmes into large multidisciplinary universities or colleges.
- The committees thrust on 3-language formula which mandated compulsory learning of Hindi in all states was met with vehement opposition in Non-Hindi speaking states and Southern states.
- Then the draft policy dropped the mandatory Hindi clause but still the compulsory three language formula is not revised.
- The Former Cabinet Secretary T.S.R. Subramanian’s ‘Committee for Evolution of the New Education Policy’ had earlier submitted its report in 2016.
