Does it prepare children for the future? Unfortunately not. Plagued by ignorance and irrelevance, our education system has been able to provide quality education to students. There are numerous areas where the Indian education system falters. Some of the areas that need immediate attention and improvement are personality development of students, holistic education approach with an emphasis on co-curricular activities, well-trained and qualified educators, and a proper infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To address these concerns, the Union Cabinet approved the New Education Policy 2020. Well, it has been nearly three decades that our education policy underwent an overhaul. The New Education Policy aims at transforming the school and higher education system in India. The policy focuses on providing holistic education by giving equal weightage to academic, vocational training and extracurricular activities. The idea is to make children develop skill in their area of interest and prepare them for the world outside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Highlights_of_the_New_Education_Policy_2020\"><\/span><strong>Key Highlights of the New Education Policy 2020<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To get a clear picture of the New Education Policy, let\u2019s quickly understand the objectives of the policy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The objectives of the policy are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>To provide quality education to all and make India a global knowledge superpower<\/li>\r\n<li>To achieve 100 percent youth and adult literacy in India<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Curious to know about the New Education Policy? Let us learn what kind of improvements and changes the policy has brought in the K\u201312 ecosystem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"School_curriculum_overhaul\"><\/span><strong>School curriculum overhaul<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>The New Education Policy redraws the school curriculum framework on a 5+3+3+4 structure corresponding to the age groups 3-8 years (Foundational Stage covering 3 years of pre-school and 2 years in Grades 1-2 ), 8-11 years (Preparatory Stage covering Grade 3-5), 11-14 years (Middle Stage covering Grades 6-8) and 14-18 years (Secondary Stage covering Grades 9-12). \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So does this mean that students have to invest more years in schooling? Certainly not! This structure brings early childhood education under the ambit of formal schooling. This approach is far better and expansive than the 10+2 model as it brings the hitherto uncovered age group of 3\u20136 years under the school curriculum. These formative years are crucial in the cognitive development of a child. The new policy aims to promote early childhood education and make childhood joyful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The new curriculum will be implemented as a new National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE 2020\u201321) by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medium_of_instruction\"><\/span><strong>Medium of instruction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The New Education Policy puts great emphasis on Indian languages, stating that the medium of education until class 5 will be the mother tongue of the student.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Do you think this will change the way students learn? Yes, it will, but without impacting the learning of students. India is a multilingual country with Hindi being the national language. With the New Education Policy, every state will have the flexibility to introduce their native language along with Hindi and English.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Low-stakes_board_exams\"><\/span><strong>Low-stakes board exams<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Board exams causing a lot of stress and tension? Well, no more will you be required to cram concepts and facts. The new policy aims to eliminate rote learning and emphasise conceptual understanding. Testing of concepts and knowledge application will be given primary importance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Furthermore, students will be allowed to take board exams twice in a year. The first will be the main exam and a second attempt will be allowed for improvement. This will reduce stress and empower students to focus on conceptual understanding, thereby fostering 21<sup>st<\/sup>-century education.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_on_vocational_education\"><\/span><strong>Focus on vocational education<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Vocational education will start in schools from the sixth grade and will include internships. Moreover, there will be a 10-day bagless period. Isn\u2019t that interesting? Students can explore their interests and learn new skills.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Students from sixth to eighth grades will be required to intern with local vocational experts such as artists, carpenters, gardeners, potters, etc. Not only will this encourage them to pursue their areas of interest, but will also help them to go beyond the conventional professional courses while making career choices.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technology-based_education_from_sixth_grade_onward\"><\/span>Technology-based education from sixth grade onward<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Did you study coding in your early school years? No! Well, today\u2019s education is driven by technological advancements and it is important for students to get involved and understand the various technologies of today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The New Education Policy focuses on teaching coding from sixth standard. This is a wonderful opportunity to instil 21<sup>st<\/sup>-century skills among students. This will be the first time we will really be bringing in 21<sup>st<\/sup>-century skills out of conversations and into the classroom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With this reform, every student will have access to technology and a chance to learn new technologies at the right age.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_and_digital_education\"><\/span><strong>Online and digital education<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Has online education revolutionised the way students learn? Definitely yes! To make students future-ready and foster 21<sup>st<\/sup>-century learning, it is imperative to have a sound digital infrastructure and digital content resources in our education system. The current scenario (COVID-19 pandemic and its impact) only underscores the need for online education. Hence, the policy lays emphasis on developing a good digital infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reforms_in_pedagogy\"><\/span><strong>Reforms in pedagogy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The school curricula will aim towards the holistic development of learners and reducing the curricular content to enhance critical thinking and experiential learning.
