NEP aims to tackle main issues which plague the Indian education system. Unequal access remains a major concern, with rural and underprivileged communities facing the brunt of low literacy and high dropout rates. Outdated curricula, failing to keep pace with modern advancements, hinders students' preparation for the future workforce. Inadequate funding further exacerbates the problem, leaving schools and colleges struggling with basic facilities. This is manifested in low learning outcomes, high drop out rates and unskilled youth entering the workforce.
