Abstract

The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) is a comprehensive blueprint for transforming India's education system, aimed at promoting equity, access, quality, and affordability at all levels of education. NEP 2020 aims to regain the flavour of Indian traditional custom culture, heritage, and ancient and contemporary knowledge system. Rabindranath Tagore’s ideas and educational philosophy are incomparable and unprecedented. He emphasises the key issues: the independence of thinking and speech, active communication, blending nature and man, and the encouragement of the highest possible level of creative expression. Naturalism, idealism, humanism, and internationalism formed the basis of his educational philosophy. His educational ideas and philosophies are practically implemented by establishing two institutions, viz. Shantiniketan and Visva-Bharati. Rabindranath Tagore’s educational philosophy is a foundation for several important National Education Policy 2020 (NEP-2020) areas. This paper discusses the influence of Tagore’s educational philosophy and his experimentations on education while framing NEP-2020.
