The National Education Policy lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potential of each individual. It is based on the principle that education must develop not only cognitive capacities-both the ‘foundational capacities’ of literacy and numeracy and ‘higher-order’ cognitive capacities, such as critical thinking and problem solving–but also social, ethical, and emotional capacities and dispositions. Teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual abilities of students. Hence this policy will boost employment in the country and fundamentally change our educational system. The new policy will depend on policy initiatives.

Education, policy and school.
