The highlight of the session was the debate competition on the topic ‘The National Education Policy 2020 will ensure quality education in Nagaland’. Analyzing the competition, Along recommended the participants to study the National Education Policy (NEP) in a more in-depth manner in the future to ensure that there is enough materials to learn about the topic. He said that the education system needs a constructive change and despite deprivations, it is not impossible to implement NEP in Nagaland.
