We saw a never-before-performance in Tokyo Olympics this year. Luckily, as per National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020, sports education will soon be a part of school curriculum, the detailed guidelines are
going to come in a couple of months by the education ministry.
This would not only help create the interest of students in sports but would also brighten the scope for
budding athletes and sportsmen in coming times.
The curriculum will be based on the available infrastructure of the respective schools. Further, in an
academic week, there will be a number of hours set aside for sports, and each child would submit their
preferences based on their interests and aptitude.
NEP aims to have holistic development in the field of education, and sports is not an alien word in this
policy. In coming times, the services of retired athletes would be taken up along with a pool of trained
and medal-winning athletes. This is likely to improve the quality of training in sports. The qualified
sports staff would be hired on attractive packages in coming times. Schools would be encouraged to
develop the quality infrastructure as well.
