Abstract: The integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) within the framework of India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. NEP 2020 emphasizes enhancing the quality of education through innovative resources, and OER presents a significant opportunity to align with these objectives. The study evaluates how NEP 2020 incorporates OER and the alignment between its policy directives and practical application in educational settings. It highlights the potential of OER to support NEP’s goals, such as improving accessibility, quality, and flexibility of education. Furthermore, the paper addresses the challenges faced in implementing OER effectively, including issues of accessibility, quality control, and teacher training. Strategies for overcoming these challenges are also discussed, aiming to enhance the synergy between NEP 2020’s vision and the practical use of OER in India’s education system.
Keywords: NEP 2020, Open Educational Resources (OER), Education Policy, Learning Materials, Policy Alignment.
