Aurobindo’s Educational Philosophy and its Relevance to the National
Education Policy 2020: A Philosophical Exploration
Abstract
The purpose of the research article is to explore the connection between
Sri Aurobindo’s educational philosophy and the National Education Policy
(NEP) 2020. The article seeks to examine how Aurobindo’s philosophy,
which encompasses integral education, self-discovery, harmonious
individual-society relationship, recognition of the multidimensional
nature of human beings, and the role of spirituality, can enrich the
implementation and understanding of the NEP 2020. The significance of
exploring this connection lies in the potential for enhancing the
transformative impact of the NEP 2020 on the education system.
Aurobindo’s philosophy promotes a holistic approach to education,
emphasizing the integration of various dimensions of human existence,
such as physical, vital, mental, and spiritual. By integrating these
principles into the implementation of the NEP 2020, there is an
opportunity to foster a more comprehensive and transformative education
system.
