What is NEP 2020 (New Education Policy) ?

NEP Announced on 29th July'20, a big step towards transforming reforms in schools and higher education sector in the country

 When talked about already understood gaps in education system of the country, targeting the change from the base is important.

Highlights of NEP-2020, to improve education system and ensure enough investment at the right places following are the steps taken:

  • Introduction of Coding courses from class 6th
  • School premises to be used for Adult education after school hours
  • Increased focus on vocational studies at school level
  • Development of high-class Indian Sign Language Modules
  • NCC to be brought under Defense Ministry
  • Free boarding facilities in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas
  • NCERT to introduce pedagogy based syllabus
  • E-learning/content to be promoted in Regional Languages
  • Establishment of National Research Foundation
  • More Autonomous Educational Institutes
  • National Testing Agency to offer Common Entrance Exam after higher education
After 34 years of old education system, an important change has been incorporated. Being passionate about making education more accessible to every curious learner with the best in market available technology, I am extremely excited to look at the ways these would be addressed. I wish I had an opportunity to start learning coding this early.

##Additional details:
The '10+2' system is now changed to '5+3+3+4' setup, this is what it means:
  • The first '5' years will make the foundational stage including 3 years of pre-primary schooling and grade 1 & 2.
  • Next '3' years would be preparatory stage consisting of grades 3,4 & 5.
  • After that '3' years of middle stage will have grades 6,7 &8.
  • Followed by '4' years of secondary stage up to class 12th.
