NEP 2020 – Narrowing the Skills Gap and Equipping New Skills through Job Satisfaction

Abstract

Job satisfaction, also known as employee satisfaction, is a measure of how happy employees are with their jobs, whether they like the job or specific components of it, such as the nature of the work or supervision. Job satisfaction is divided into three categories: cognitive (evaluative), affective (or emotional), and behavioural. The National Education Policy 2020 will serve as a stimulus for reforming the educational system in order to increase future generations' employability. The NEP 2020 places a strong emphasis on work happiness, emphasising the significance of education in providing students with the necessary skills. NEP 2020 sets a major focus on job satisfaction, emphasising the importance of education in equipping students with the skills they need. It also correlates with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which aspires to provide high-quality education to everyone and encourage lifelong learning opportunities by 2030. To achieve this aim, the strategy emphasises the importance of reforming the educational system.
