Abstract

The New Education Policy 2020 is a significant development in the field of educational attainment and overall upliftment of educational attributes in India, with a special emphasis on primary education. The goal of the policy is to change the Indian Educational System. Therefore, it is imperative to evaluate all facets of the Indian educational system in its context. The purpose of this essay is to go over the numerous aspects of primary education as outlined by NEP 2020. The different features of NEP-2020 for the growth of the primary education system in India will be thoroughly explained to readers of this paper. NEP-2020 guarantees Universal Access at all educational levels, from kindergarten to 12th grade. India is to become a super power of global knowledge, according to NEP 2020.

Gijubhai Badheka, a pioneering school teacher from India who has published significantly on the subject of children education, introduced the Montessori educational philosophy to the country. His beliefs regarding how an infant's mind nurtures in the preschool years or developmental stages are crucial. Gijubhai Badheka opposed the British educational system that was used in the nation. He claimed that the system of colonialism restricted teachers' ability to propose novel theories or notions that would pique students' interest in learning.  Gijubhai's work appeals to a wide range of people by blending his eloquence of thinking, dedication for expressing thoughts, and gift for language with a style and vocabulary that all readers can readily connect to. Gijubhai Badheka published a great deal for kids, teachers, and parents during the brief time from 1920, when he started on his dream, until his untimely demise in 1939 at his golden years of 54. He also carried out his adoration for, and implementation of, the goals of pre-school education and developing children which are reflected in NEP-2020.
