-The Indian Express
The NEP’s assault on playgrounds deprives children, particularly those belonging to lower castes and the urban poor, of their right to play in safe and adequate spaces.
Children, especially in urban areas, are disenfranchised from equitable spatial resources, despite being equal members of society. The access to playgrounds, the only lands allotted for children’s needs, depends on class and caste privileges. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 (RTE) mandates that all schools provide the essential infrastructural standards specified in the RTE Schedule, including playgrounds. All school-going children between the ages of six and 14 are thereby guaranteed playground access. The new National Education Policy (NEP) dismantles this legal regime of protected playgrounds, instead of strengthening it.
The NEP advocates shifting the education system from an “overemphasis on inputs” to “output potential concerning desired learning outcomes”. It invokes efficiency and optimisation to facilitate playground appropriation. First, the NEP directs a review of the “practicalities of playgrounds in urban areas”, school-area and room-size requirements. It aims to “ease” school operation by removing RTE playground requirements. Thus, neither private nor government schools may be required to provide playgrounds, and private schools can charge exorbitant fees without providing playgrounds.
