Digital Learning and NEP 2020: Integrating Technology in Indian Classrooms
Abstract
This study looks into how digital learning programs are being implemented in Indian schools after the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 was introduced. This study examines the benefits and constraints of integrating digital tools across various educational contexts in India, in light of the COVID-19 epidemic, which hastened the use of educational technology. By means of an extensive scrutiny of secondary data, encompassing scholarly works, official reports, and case studies, the research assesses the present condition of digital learning infrastructure, the congruence of policy goals with actual circumstances, and the influence on student involvement and academic results. The report highlights prospects for enhanced access and personalized learning while simultaneously identifying major obstacles like the digital divide, insufficient teacher preparation, and infrastructure constraints. This research intends to give policymakers, educators, and stakeholder’s practical insights for successful technology integration in Indian classrooms by synthesizing data from numerous studies and contextualizing them within the NEP 2020 framework. The report ends with suggestions for dealing with issues and taking
advantage of chances to develop an inclusive, efficient, and future-ready Indian educational system.
