What are the challenges in implementing the National Education Policy 2020 in science education?

The National Education Policy 2020 introduced in India aims to bring significant reforms in the education sector, including science education. However, implementing the policy in this area comes with various challenges. Firstly, there is a lack of adequate infrastructure and resources in many schools, especially in rural areas, making it difficult to provide hands-on science experiments and practical learning opportunities. Additionally, there is a shortage of qualified and trained science teachers, which hampers the effective delivery of quality education. Furthermore, the curriculum redesign and incorporation of interdisciplinary approach require extensive training and professional development for teachers. Lastly, bridging the digital divide and ensuring access to technology and digital resources for all students is another obstacle that needs to be addressed for the successful implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 in science education.
