Topics for: NEP 2020 and Women Empowerment

An exploration of how NEP 2020 promotes women's empowerment through institutional changes. This includes adopting a gender-sensitive curriculum, establishing effective safety and security measures in schools and hostels, and encouraging women's leadership and mentorship within educational institutions.

Focus on the NEP 2020's push for multidisciplinary and flexible education, and the removal of hard separations between streams. Discuss its success in encouraging girls to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and vocational courses, and what ongoing societal stereotypes still hinder this shift.

A critical discussion on the Gender Inclusion Fund (GIF) proposed by NEP 2020. Debate its effectiveness, allocation strategies, and real-world impact on providing essential facilities (like sanitation, transportation, and cash transfers) to boost enrollment and retention of girls, especially from socio-economically disadvantaged groups (SEDGs).
