Education is not just about delivering content, conducting examinations, and distributing degrees. It must transcend beyond it and allow the students to transform their own lives and act as a vehicle for transforming the lives of others. Sustainable and inclusive learning is essential for an individual’s future life in an everchanging world and also for the growth of the Nation.

The NEP 2020, takes into consideration the global concern of inclusive and equitable quality education which promotes lifelong learning for all as enshrined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs4). It focuses on building the best of Human Capital through our education system which is capable of rising to the global standards, skillful and resilient enough to cope with the challenges of the new and emerging world. The NEP 2020 envisions to build a New India through a vibrant and robust education system that is holistic, flexible, ethical, dynamic, rooted to the grounds, and sustainable.

We don’t need any advanced tools or rubrics to judge sustainable and inclusive learning, it is evident when students feel confident about the knowledge, skills, values, and attitude that they have acquired. If students can apply the knowledge they have built in the classroom to their surroundings, their learning is sustainable.

Sustainable learning is learning that lasts.
