- Examination Reforms:
To reduce the burden on students and enhance the learning experience, traditional annual exams will be replaced with a more spaced-out system. Key assessments will occur in classes 2, 5, and 8, while board exams will continue for classes 10 and 12. However, these exams will be redesigned under the guidance of the assessment body, PARAKH (Performance Assessment, Review and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development). The new format will feature two parts: objective and descriptive sections. Furthermore, students will be allowed up to two attempts, with exams held twice a year, making the process more flexible and student-friendly.
- Reduced Curriculum Load and Holistic Report Cards:
The curriculum will be streamlined to reduce the academic load on students, promoting interdisciplinary learning and multilingual capabilities. Report cards will provide a holisticoverview of students' skills, rather than just academic achievements, reflecting a broader spectrum of their development.
- Introduction of Coding and Experiential Learning:
Starting from class 6, coding will be introduced to develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills. The policy also advocates for experiential learning, allowing students to engage in hands-on activities and real-world applications of knowledge.
- Midday Meal Scheme Expansion and Mental Health Focus:
The Midday Meal Scheme will be expanded to include breakfasts, ensuring better nutrition for students. Additionally, the policy highlights the importance of mental health, advocating for the presence of counsellors and social workers in schools to support students' well-being.
As H.G. Wells aptly noted, "Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe." NEP 2020 aims to prepare students not just for academic success but for life, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate an increasingly complex world.
