"New Education Policy to make higher education cheaper," said Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shri Satya Pal Singh. This policy will correct & change the education system in the country that has followed a colonial mindset. Also, the New Scheme is in the final stage of development and going to be announced in December said, Dr Singh. After the independence of India, several academicians followed the paths of British and Western scholars and denied the Indian culture. The government and education system is working on the biggest challenge that ‘how to de-colonise the Indian mind’ in this policy. This is the first time that such education policy discussed layer by layer, Minister said.
According to Dr Singh, the quality of education should be improved from the primary level so this will make higher education affordable. The education system also faced some major issues to accessing higher education. The Government should also focus on the skill development that is one of the major areas said, Dr Singh.

India has only 25.6 percent accessibility to higher education while other countries have increased ratio such as USA 86 percent, Germany 80 percent, and China 60 percent. The higher education is system is very expensive; the government is to improve the higher education system in the country to make it affordable to all sections of the society, said Dr Singh.
