Innovating Education Through Technology: A Pathway to Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the Context of National Education Policy 2020

Abstract

The integration of technology in education has become a key strategy to drive progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recognizes the transformative potential of technology in shaping a future-ready education system. This research paper explores how innovative technology in education can serve as a pathway to achieving the SDGs, with a focus on quality education (SDG 4) and its interlinkages with other goals such as poverty reduction, gender equality, and economic growth. It also examines the alignment between NEP 2020 and the broader objectives of the SDGs, analysing the policy’s vision for leveraging digital learning to create an inclusive, equitable, and quality education system for all.
