Abstract :

The goal of the current study is to execute the "National Education Policy 2020"'s suggestions for the use of ICT in the classroom. It has been suggested by numerous committees and commissions, including NEP 1986 and others, that ICT be used and implemented in schools in order to provide high-quality education. The government of Indiana has to address two key realities before reannounced the concerns in NEP 2020: The NCF 2005 and the officially supported Computer Literacy and Studies in Schools (CLASS, 2004) programme both emphasised the important role that ICT can play in education. The SarvaShikshaAbhijan began operating in the capacity and infrastructure building sector in 2000. Although a small amount of ICT infrastructure had been established, it was insufficient. Therefore, the concerns pertaining to the usage and implementation of ICT in school education were recommended by the NEP 2020. However, putting this policy's recommendations into practice is one of the hardest tasks. The researchers do not believe that the prior policies were absurd; rather, they believe that the oversight and monitoring mechanisms were malfunctioning. In order to improve teachers' ability to integrate ICT and create capacity, the researchers attempted to examine suggestions, problems, and challenges related to ICT use and implementation in school education in this article and compared it with prior policies. The government ought to set up those kinds of initiatives in schools with brand-new, substantial funding. Additionally, the state must take the initiative to designate ICT professors and institute the topic as a stand-alone course.
