Online published on 16 April, 2024. Abstract The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a landmark policy that aims at overhauling the education system in India. It has met with mixed reactions from students, with some praising its ambitious goals and others expressing concerns about its implementation. This research uses social media analysis to understand students' perspectives on the NEP in its early stages of implementation. The study analysed social media posts of undergraduate students studying under the NEP in selected institutions of Karnataka. The findings of the research highlight the evolving nature of student ideas, indicating a growing emphasis on social responsibility in their thinking. The most prominent keywords extracted from the social media posts were digital literacy, gender sensitisation, social responsibility, eliminate rote learning (experiential learning), multi-disciplinary learning and extracurricular activities. Top Keywords NEP, Digital Literacy, Gender Sensitisation, Social Responsibility, Eliminate Rote Learning, Sentimental Analysis, Educational Reforms. Top |
