Under the National Education Policy of 2020, the old 10+2 structure will be replaced by a __________ framework.

The government just announced the National Education Policy 2022, that will replace the 34-year-old National Education Policy 1986. The new NEP is built on four pillars: accessibility, equity, quality, and accountability. The old 10+2 structure will be replaced by a 5+3+3+4 framework that includes 12 years of education and 3 years of Anganwadi/pre-school. Though we have made significant progress in literacy and other education indicators, there is still much room for improvement at the secondary, higher secondary, and higher education levels.
