Abstract

The National Policy on Education 1986 recognizes ‘Education’ as the major tool that can help liberate the country from backwardness and lead it onwards to a developed nation. “Free and Compulsory Education for All” was initiated but the implementation aspect is yet to be realized in practice. After 34 years, there is a change in the education policy in India with the introduction of the New Education Policy 2020 (NEP).The formation of a Gender Inclusion Fund toward equitable education for girls who are underprivileged and creating Special Education Zones is included in the provision. The constituent of sex education needs to be carefully added and be made a mandatory part of the teaching-learning process. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisages equitable and inclusive education for all, with special focus on children and youth, especially girls, from socially and economically disadvantaged groups. The Government should Focus on the Education policy to increase women's education at any ages, decrease the dropout rate for girls which seems to be higher after secondary education . The enrolment ratio of women education between secondary and higher secondary levels are leading downward. The onset of menstruation and unavailability of hygienic toilets are the main reason for girls leaving school without completing education. Through Education, it also intends to improve women leadership capacity through positive civil dialogues with women positive thinking and high leadership involved in the education system. Economic empowerment of women through development of skills in educational institutions will surely be progressive and attract girl students to go to school or for higher education which may lead to, hopefully, change the way that traditionally families distinguish between male and female educations, seeing the former as a more rewarding proposition. If implemented, this will bring a record participation rate in higher education, decrease gender gaps at all levels and ensure the practice of gender equity and inclusion in society. In this study, an attempt has been made to study women education through the National Education Policy 2020.
