Document Abstract
A new age of educational reform in India has begun
with the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020, with its grand
promises of inclusion and fair access to high-quality education. We
will examine the policy’s possible effects on transgender education
in this critical study, delving into the question of whether it is a
transformative strategy or a lost opportunity. We are able to reveal
the intricate network of obstacles that the transgender community
faces when attempting to further their education by dissecting
important legislation and implementation issues. Though the NEP
2020 offers hope for a more welcoming educational environment,
overcoming deeply ingrained cultural prejudices and systemic
impediments will be necessary for the program to succeed in
eliminating long-standing inequities within the transgender
population. This paper provides an overview of our extensive
research, which analyzes the complex interactions between policy
intentions and practical implementations, providing insight into the
way forward for achieving true educational parity for transgender
people in India
