Abstract | The Indian Education system traditionally had been rooted to a set of core values which had bearings to the ancient religious arenas giving rise to the ‘guru-sishya parampara’ in the Hindu ‘tolas’ and Islamic madrasas. Change had been ushered in by the British who had tried to Westernize, formalize and modernize the traditional Indian education system, mostly owing to the impact of Lord T.B. Macaulay’s Minutes on Indian Education. Ever since India’s independence over the last seven decades the Indian education system has undergone multiple systemic changes from the primary to the Higher Education levels and the system itself has been challenged by various socio-economic, linguistic and regional factors. However, none of these challenges stand in comparison to the challenges that the Indian education system has had to face during the advent of the Covid virus pandemic and also the almost simultaneous ushering in of the New Educational Policy (NEP) in 2020. This paper contextualizes the challenges that the Indian education system has had to face over the last few years and weaves into this narrative of discussion the impact of media, social media and the efforts of digital literacy that the government is attempting to transpose upon a fragile education system that runs across a vast country that is beset with social, cultural, religious, caste, political, linguistic and economic divides. The paper looks into the strengths of the traditional system of education that still runs in the veins of the people of this large country which has over a length of time graduated itself into the Western system of imparting of education by the British. The paper shall look at how this apparent comfort zone of stasis which had been built over the last seven decades now stands challenged by the precepts and demands of NEP 2020 and how media glare and social media narrative is eating into the stasis of comfort that India had built up over the last seven decades. Finally the paper shall also look how far digitization and digital literacy are workable in India. |
