Many people have controversial opinion about any Educational Policies. When Samacheer education was brought in tamilnadu, people had mixed opinion. Before commenting on any Educational Policies, we have to study in detail about the policy. The Union Cabinet has approved the National Educational policy 2020 on 29/7/2020. This educational policy will pave a new way for transforming school and higher education sector in the country.
The prominent features of National Educational Policy 2020 are
- Institutions and Faculty will have more autonomy to innovate on matters of curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment within a broad framework of higher education
- All assessment systems shall also be decided by the HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION (HEI).
- The choice based credit system will be revised for instilling innovation and flexibility.
- Each Institution will integrate its academic plans ranging from curriculum improvement to quality of classroom transaction into its Larger Institutional Development.
- All programmes, courses, curriculum and pedagogy across subjects including those in-class will aim to achieve global services.
- All university government, private, open, Deemed, Vocational etc will have same grading and other rules.
Major Reforms in School Education
- Mother Tongue to be a medium of instruction till 5th
- National Mission to focus on basic literacy and basic numeracy.
- Report cards will be a comprehensive report on skills and capabilities instead of just marks and statements.
- Every child will come out of school education with atleast one major skill.
The major change is from current 10 + 2 (i.e) Class 1-10 (Age 6 -16) and then class 11-12 (age 16-18) will be changed to 5+3+3+4 (i.e) 5 Years of foundation education + 3 years of preparatory + 3 of middle + 4 years of secondary schooling.
We all can hope this new system will make students have effective learning .
