What 2024 Will Bring for K-12 Policy: 5 Issues to Watch

• Share article

Educators should expect debates over school choice, teacher pay measures, artificial intelligence, and standardized testing in state legislatures and on Capitol Hill in 2024.

Politicians and lawmakers used 2023 to set the course for 2024, a presidential election year when voters will most likely choose between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. For education policy, that meant more attention to conservative parents’ rights bills that often seek to limit how schools can teach about race, gender identity, and sexuality, and a push for raising teacher pay and improving student mental health.

Those topics will likely be at the forefront of education policy debates in 2024, too, especially in state houses and on local school boards. But education will likely not play a major role in the 2024 election as issues such as the economy, immigration, health care, and wars in the Middle East and Ukraine take precedence with voters.

Even so, 2024 will likely bring legislative changes that will affect schools in significant ways and the year will see some hot topics begin to cool off. Here are five issues educators will need to pay close attention to in the year ahead.

1. Private school choice to dominate legislative agendas again

The past year appeared to be a watershed for the private school choice movement. At least six states passed universal education savings account policies, which use public money to provide parents with a student’s per-pupil funds to pay for education expenses, including private school and homeschool costs.

While ESAs have been around for years, they’ve mostly been limited to students with disabilities or students in low-income families. The onset of universal ESAs opens the program up to all students regardless of their disability status or family income. Advocates say the savings accounts allow more students to have the ultimate personalized education experience, so they can learn in the environment that best works for them.

More states will likely try to pass universal ESAs or other similar policies in 2024, but the success in 2023 doesn’t mean it will be smooth sailing, education policy experts have told Education Week. Voucher programs in several states, including Georgia and Texas, failed to pass in 2023 , and public school advocates in Arkansas and Nebraska are working to collect signatures for referenda that would ask voters to reject newly passed private school choice programs in the 2024 election.

Some state officials, including Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, have warned that the cost of ESAs is growing far past initial projections. And critics of ESAs and vouchers argue the programs allow public funds to be spent on unregulated schools and don’t actually lead to improved academic performance.

2. More attention to raising teacher pay

Lawmakers in at least 26 states introduced bills to raise teacher pay in 2023, according to FutureEd , a Georgetown University think tank that tracks education policy.

Eleven of those bills have been signed into law in Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Montana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, and Washington. The bills often have bipartisan support and signal that teacher pay could continue to be a priority in 2024.

In some states, however, teacher pay laws come with strings attached to other issues. In Arkansas, the state’s LEARNS Act raised the minimum salary for starting teachers from $35,000 to $50,000. The law also established funds for the state’s universal ESA program. At the time of its passing, teachers told Education Week they found it difficult to support a law that expanded private school choice even if it raised their pay.

It’s unlikely that teacher pay will gain any federal momentum in 2024 with a divided U.S. House and Senate. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Reps. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., and Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., introduced bills at the start of 2023 to incentivize states to raise teacher salaries to a $60,000 minimum . Neither of those bills have made it through the House or Senate, and Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., chair of the House’s education committee, told Education Week that responding to teacher shortages is the responsibility of state and local governments, not congressional lawmakers.

3. Big questions and policy challenges over AI to continue

The introduction of generative artificial intelligence like ChatGPT was perhaps the most consequential development for schools in 2023. A year later, many educators and lawmakers are still unsure what to do about it.

Earlier this month, lawmakers in the U.S. House introduced the “Artificial Intelligence Literacy Act,” a bipartisan bill that would make it clear schools could use existing federal grants to support AI literacy, or the understanding of the basic principles of AI.

The next year will likely mean the introduction of similar bills as well as efforts to curb AI’s impact on society. The National Assessment Governing Board, which oversees the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, has already delayed its upcoming writing exam to give researchers time to understand how AI will impact writing instruction in schools.

4. Less attention on curriculum and policies related to gender identity, sexuality, and race

Debates over curriculum and school policies related to gender identity, sexuality, race, and racism dominated education conversations in 2023, including among the field of Republican candidates for president who faced off in a series of debates .

Many conservative-led states enacted laws, often referred to as a parents’ bill of rights, that limit or prohibit teaching about sexuality and gender identity, require parent permission for student name or pronoun changes, and limit how teachers talk about the history of race and racism. Republicans in the U.S. House also passed a federal parents bill of rights , but it has not made it through the Senate.

Educators in states with the laws have said that their implementation has led to confusion and chaos in schools . In Florida, the education agency went back and forth with the College Board over whether the Advanced Placement Psychology course violated its state law because of mentions of gender identity and sexuality. In Indiana, parents had to seek approval for their students to be called common nicknames, such as Kate or Jim, to abide by a law intended to prevent schools from keeping students’ gender identities a secret by requiring parent approval for name and pronoun changes.

2024 may see less of a focus on the parents’ rights policies, especially as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican who has been the political face of these policies, fails to gain any serious momentum over Trump in the 2024 primary. Parents rights’ candidates also struggled to secure as many wins in 2023 school board elections as they did in 2022 .

5. Rethinking measures of student success

Over the past year, state education leaders have taken steps to redefine what it means to be a successful graduate.

At least 17 states have adopted a portrait, or profile, of a graduate, a guiding document to define what characteristics or competencies make a successful student as they leave high school. In some states, the portraits have led to a more robust restructuring of the public education system.

This year, Wyoming became the final state to adopt a law allowing for competency-based learning , in which student progress is evaluated based on mastery of a subject rather than the amount of time a student spends in class. The state will be starting a pilot project to see if it would be possible to shift its education system to a competency model.

Other states have looked to change standardized testing practices. In August, Montana received a rare federal waiver to pilot a through-year testing model and, in Missouri, the state education department has given waivers to at least 20 districts to pilot through-year testing. State officials hope the testing model, in which students are given standardized exams multiple times throughout the year, will give teachers, school leaders, and policymakers a more accurate sense of students’ skills by not relying on an end-of-year exam that requires students to demonstrate everything they know at one moment in time.

The movement away from traditional seat time and standardized testing measures of performance will likely continue in 2024 as more states look to recover from pandemic-induced learning loss.

A closer look at national education policy 2023 (nep 2023), the comprehensive guide to the national education policy 2023 envisioning the transformation of the indian education system, emphasizing critical thinking, fostering holistic development, and embracing global perspectives..

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, since its release, has led to transformative changes in the Indian education ecosystem. Its far-reaching impact can be seen through a multitude of changes it has initiated, such as the shift towards curriculum-aligned learning, regional languages being the medium of instruction,  integration of technology in education, promotion of vocational and skill-based learning, and bridging the gap between academic and practical knowledge. The NEP 2020 has undoubtedly set the stage for a brighter and more inclusive future for education in the country.

Innovative Shift in National Education Policy 2023 (NEP-2023)

Under the visionary leadership of prime minister shri narendra modi ji and the ministry of human resource development, the new education policy of 2023 ( nep 2023 ) marks a pivotal milestone in the nation’s educational journey. the policy was released on 29 july 2020 after approval by the union cabinet..

In response to the evolving demands of the contemporary era, this policy underscores the importance of comprehensive education focusing on digital literacy, skill development, and holistic learning. 

The main purpose behind redefining NEP policy is:

“To universalize education and make India a global knowledge superpower”

Effects of Redefining NEP 2023

• NEP 2023 promotes skill-based education, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving.
• Inclusivity is a key focus, offering equal opportunities for diverse learners.
• Emphasis on local languages and cultures provides a global perspective.
• Improved teacher training and increased funding for better infrastructure.
• Embracing digital education to prepare students for a tech-driven future.
• NEP 2023 paves the way for holistic and meaningful learning.

A significant change in NEP 2023 from the past involves:

The transition from the conventional 10+2 model to the ever-growing 5+3+3+4 structure. This framework places a strong emphasis on fundamental skills and life competencies at every educational level.

What does 5+3+3+4 Structure mean?

NEP 2023 redefined the educational framework to a 5+3+3+4 structure to enhance and align the traditional learning system with the evolving needs of students.

To create a holistic pedagogical environment, National Education Policy 2023 emphasizes on:

Foundational stage (5 years).

During the first three years of pre-primary education, children will primarily engage in playful and interactive learning activities, while the following two years in classes 1st and 2nd the focus will be on the development of Foundational Literacy and Numeracy ( FLN ) skills.

Preparatory Stage (3 years)

During this three-year phase, the primary emphasis is on students of classes 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades where a multifaceted teaching approach will be integrated as it seamlessly integrates various subjects, providing a well-rounded and holistic learning experience. The focus of preparatory stage centers on fostering a sense of discovery and exploration, aiming to steer away from rote learning of complex concepts. It is important because at this stage when the curriculum gets deep it becomes necessary to encourage a deeper understanding and the practical application of knowledge.

Middle Stage (3 Years)

During this three-year phase, the emphasis is on delving deeper into the subject matter for students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. The Middle Stage will focus on helping students explore subjects in greater detail, thereby enabling critical thinking. Furthermore, the Middle Stage is dedicated to introducing project-based learning to help students gain hands-on experience.

Secondary Stage (4 Years)

In the final four years of school, from grades 9 to 12, students get ready for their future. Some for higher education or vocational paths. Therefore, during this stage, when students can choose what they want to study, the focus will be on holistic development. This will help them gain real-world skills and competencies.

Guidelines of NEP 2023

• Holistic Development Focus: NEP 2023 fosters cognitive, emotional, and societal growth for students.
• Early Foundational Learning: Prioritizes Early Childhood Education and Care for strong foundations.
• New Curriculum Structure: Introduces a 5+3+3+4 structure for experiential and skill-based learning.
• Vocational Education Goal: Aim for 50% of learners in vocational education by 2025 is to contribute to the Nation’s human capital.
• Regional Language Learning: Emphasizes regional language learning up to Grade 5, to enable a familiar learning environment.
• Tech-Driven Education: NEP 2023 emphasizes using platforms like DIKSHA to enable access to quality education.
• Adaptive evaluation system: The policy emphasizes rethinking assessments to shift from summative to a more comprehensive evaluation system.
• Teacher Training: Continuous training and professional development of teachers to align with evolving teaching approaches.
• Inclusivity and Equity: NEP 2023 commits to ensuring education for all, regardless of socioeconomic or physical barriers to learning.

It’s truly inspiring to witness the proactive approach of the Government of India in revamping the National Education Policy (NEP). 

In line with NEP 2023, iDream Education is happy to underscore its alignment with the policy’s vision, as it centers on fostering the holistic development of students through its comprehensive, one-stop learning platform, iPrep . This platform places equal emphasis on both academic and non-academic growth.

iPrep’s alignment with 5+3+3+4 Structure

In harmony with the new Curriculum 5+3+3+4 framework, iPrep offers a diverse range of curriculum-aligned multi-category content for students in grades K-12, available in Hindi, English, and seven other regional languages. Beyond academics, iPrep delves into areas such as life skills, value education, vocational content, climate change awareness, activity and project-based learning, and more for the holistic growth of students. Furthermore, iPrep prioritizes experiential and skill-based learning for different grades. It’s meticulously designed to draw content from Open Educational Resources (OER) sources/platforms such as DIKSHA and Khan Academy, thereby ensuring access to quality education.

iPrep PAL, a personalized adaptive learning solution by iDream Education enables an adaptive evaluation system  

iPrep PAL   is a structured app featuring an adaptive evaluation system that shifts the focus from summative assessments to a more comprehensive evaluation approach. This personalized adaptive learning solution tailors individual learning paths for each student, recognizing their unique learning needs and abilities.

What else is in line with the NEP 2023?

We not just focus on developing and delivering our solution but our commitment lies in the successful implementation of the solution, with comprehensive and ongoing teacher training programs, ensuring teachers can effectively digital in their daily classroom sessions. 

Lastly, with a focus on local language medium, a multi-category curriculum alignment, ICT labs, and offline digital learning content, iPrep stands as an inclusive and equitable solution that caters to all learners. With its adaptability to various devices and operating systems, it eliminates socioeconomic and physical barriers to learning.

To Conclude

This revamping of NEP at this juncture has the potential to transform the Indian education system into a more inclusive, flexible, and learner-centric one. iDream Education looks forward to working with System Integrators, Government entities, corporations, foundations, NGOs, and other ecosystem partners to facilitate a holistic and integrated education approach.

Navigating Change: Insights into the New Education Policy 2023-24

New Education Policy 2023-24: India has recently introduced a transformative New Education Policy (NEP) 2023-24 that aims to equip students with 21st-century skills and prepare them for opportunities of the future. After extensive 5+ year consultations, the NEP 2020 was approved in July 2020. Based on the learnings from its implementation, the NEP 2023-24 framework builds further guiding principles driving education reforms across schools and higher education.

Understanding the Need for India’s New Education Policy

The world is undergoing rapid changes driven by emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, automation and the internet. To thrive in this landscape, developing problem-solving skills , creativity and digital capabilities have become imperative over conventional textbook learning.

Recognizing this need for a modern curriculum, India has introduced the  NEP 2023-24 policy after over 3 decades. It aims to equip students with the knowledge, life skills, and aptitudes that match 21st-century opportunities while expanding access to equitable quality education across regions and income groups over the coming 15 years.

Key Objectives of India’s NEP 2023-24

The key objectives underlying the NEP 2023-24 education reforms across schools and higher education are:

• Provide universal access to quality education opportunities
• Develop creativity, critical analysis, and problem-solving abilities in students
• Shift the focus from rote learning to concept-based experiential learning
• Mainstream crucial skills like coding, data science , arts, sports into curriculums
• Significantly enhance classroom technology and digital learning
• Enable choice flexibility aligning individual student talents with specializations
• Empower teachers, and elevate their status and capacities as transformation leaders
• Attain high standards of academic excellence that are globally benchmarked

Over 10-15 years these systemic changes aim to reimagine India’s teaching-learning environment, fuel innovation and fully realize human potential.

Restructuring School Education with the 5+3+3+4 Design

A major structural proposal of NEP 2023-24 is the reconfigured design of school education moving away from the existing 10+2 system:

• Focus on developing literacy, numeracy, motor skills, cognitive abilities
• Play-based activities to build socio-emotional intelligence
• Introduction to subjects like languages, math, sciences, social sciences
• Arts integrated education – music, drawing, crafts to spark creativity
• Enabling reading , writing and numeracy skills
• Immersive learning of subjects establishing interdisciplinary linkages
• Hands-on labs, coding, mathematical concepts, environmental studies
• Exposure to vocational skills, data science, yoga, sports
• Project-based assessments tracking competency progress
• Choice of streams beyond standard math/science offerings
• Customizing pathways as per academic, technical or vocational strengths
• Mandatory community service, lab research for practical experience
• Board exams in Gr 10 & 12; can reappear to pass if needed

This structure tailored to students’ evolving maturity and skill levels allows customized learning plans aligned to individual talents, aptitudes and interests instead of the previous standardized approach.

Making the Curriculum Holistic and Multidisciplinary

Beyond conventional subjects, NEP 2023-24 stresses a well-rounded curriculum with holistic exposure including:

• Literacy and Numeracy  – Mission of enabling core reading and math skills for all students by Grade 3
• Languages  – Multilingual exposure without enforced language policies
• Digital Skills  – Coding mandated from Grade 6 across disciplines
• Vocational Exposure  – Internships , community experiences from secondary school itself
• Environment Education  – Hands-on understanding of sustainability challenges
• Arts and Culture  – Appreciating India’s roots through music, architecture and traditions

Rather than learning in silos, the vision is to integrate these diverse areas reinforcing critical knowledge application via an interdisciplinary pedagogical approach. This equips students with both life skills and livelihood skills for the fast-changing workplace.

Reducing Exam Stress through New Assessment Models

To reduce rote learning and student anxiety around conventional testing, NEP 2023-24 initiatives include:

• Two attempts given in Gr 10 & 12 board exams to pass without a year loss
• Regular competency-based assessments of skills and concept clarity
• Open-ended analytical tasks in exams evaluating true understanding
• New evaluation methods like quizzes, debates and projects besides testing
• Focus on mastering concepts and self-paced learning

This shift to competency-driven assessments tests application rather than memorization. Students can learn at their own pace without the pressures of one-shot entrance exams.

Empowering Teachers as Agents of Change

Recognizing their invaluable role in shaping young minds, NEP 2023-24 aims to strategically uplift teacher capacity via:

• 4-year integrated BEd programs covering subject expertise along with modern pedagogies
• Regular upskilling of educators via District Training Institutes on the latest techniques
• Attractive career schemes to recruit and retain outstanding teaching talent
• Facilitating global teaching exposure, collaborations and knowledge exchange
• Fostering peer learning and resource sharing across schools

By elevating recruitment, training, progression and empowerment – NEP 2023-24 puts teachers at the epicenter of enabling positive transformation in classrooms.

Role of Technology in Enh

ancing Access and Quality

Given rising connectivity and mobile phone usage, NEP 2020 taps digital innovations across:

• India’s integrated e-learning portal SWAYAM hosting video lectures, virtual labs, online courses
• Performance tracking dashboard DIKSHA for data-driven improvements
• Smart digital classrooms enriching teaching methods
• Promoting EdTech startups building solutions plugging gaps

This harmonious technology interplay promises to enrich conventional models via personalization, remote access and data-backed feedback – blending high-tech aids with high-touch teachers.

Increased Autonomy to Higher Education Institutions

To boost academic innovation, NEP 2023-24 allows greater administrative independence to colleges and universities for:

• Competitive recruiting beyond seniority including global talent
• Framing competitive curricula integrating updated global best practices
• Creative partnerships with academia and industry across geographies
• Evolving operational strategies aligning their vision and specializations

In return for autonomy, institutes will undergo external peer reviews every 5 years to incorporate constructive feedback for further upgrades. By enabling merit-based flexibility and accountability – transformative changes can be sustained.

Major Restructuring of College Education Proposed

NEP 2023-24 also puts forth large-scale reimagining of higher education by consolidating over 3900 isolated institutions into 150 vibrant multidisciplinary clusters over the next 15 years across regions. Key highlights are:

• Integrated universities conducting programs in teaching, research, vocational and professional education
• Flexible credit transfers across disciplines like sports, social work etc adding value
• Benchmarking global quality norms within every specialization via Professional Standard Setting Bodies
• Multidisciplinary curriculum and research the focal point for Institutes of Eminence
• Select universities also driving national priorities in niche areas like Agriculture, Law, Sanskrit Studies etc

By tearing down rigid walls across subjects, such restructuring lays fertile grounds for interdisciplinary innovations to solve complex real-world problems holistically.

Expanding Equitable Access to Opportunities

Given the spectrum of opportunities expected by 2047 during India’s 100th independence year, NEP 2020 promises education access to all including:

• School Education – Achieving 100% youth & adult literacy before 2030
• Higher Education – Raising GER from 26% to 50% by 2035 by having at least 1 large multidisciplinary university in every district
• Online Education – High quality blended degree courses via SWAYAM removing geography barriers
• Adult Reskilling – Part-time, modular courses for employed professionals
• Differently-abled Learners – Assistive devices, barrier-free campus access
• Remote Areas – Mobile literacy vans, satellite-based channels

Attracting Private Sector Investments in Education

Transforming this massive education system requires significant investments. Alongside raising public funding from 4% to 6% of GDP by 2030, NEP 2020 promises autonomy and incentives to attract private financing via:

• Norm relaxations – simplified FDI, financing, and philanthropic institutional partnerships
• Land allotments, infrastructure upgrade schemes that spur private participation
• Light-touch regulations and compliance boosting scale, innovation
• For-profit models to improve employability via corporate tie-ups, incubation hubs

Such private capital can bridge critical funding gaps for smooth transformational rollout.

Phased Implementation Roadmap and Timelines

The NEP 2020 reforms signal a 15-year journey implemented systematically in a phased manner while tracking measurable progress via clearly defined 5-year targets:

• Digital infrastructure in 50% higher education institutions
• 1 crore teachers initiated on integrated teacher training programs
• 100% youth achieve foundational literacy and numeracy
• 50% GER achieved including vocational education
• Public funding raised to 6% of GDP on education
• Multidisciplinary HEI present in every district
• 75% HEIs enjoy full administrative autonomy
• High-quality blended/online education reach amplifies exponentially
• Merging of 3900 institutions into 150 vibrant multidisciplinary clusters

Through coordinated actions aligned to the common vision, India gears up to nurture talent by 2040, fully harnessing human potential via equitable world-class education.

Summarizing the Major Takeaways of National Education Policy 2023-24

In a nutshell, the NEP 2023-24 promises a vibrant shift introducing structural and curricular changes across schools and higher education, centered around flexibility, access and quality. The major takeaways are:

• New 5+3+3+4 academic structure aligned to student growth
• Exposure to arts, sports, coding made mandatory within curriculums
• Flexibility of academic/vocational streams based on individual strengths

• Instead of every academic year, students’ exams will be held only in classes 2nd, 5th, and 8th.

The 5+3+3+4 Structure: What Does it Mean?

The replacement of the 10+2 structure with the 5+3+3+4 structure is the most eye-catching alteration in the NEP 2023. For a long period, the 10+2 has been used in our educational system. As a result, a total shift in that structure may be bewildering for the children. We will try to explain the meaning of the 5+3+3+4 structure and how it differs from the old 10+2 structure below.

The administration has divided student education into four segments under the new Pedagogical and Circular Structure. Secondary, Middle, Preparatory, and Foundational are the four sections. These four stages of schooling will be critical components of students’ educational development throughout their school careers. The following is how these four stages of student education will be divided.

• The Foundation Stage is the first step of education for children. Students will be groomed for 5 years in this programme. These five years will include three years of Anganwadi/Pre-Primary/Balvatika, as well as first and second grade.
• The preparing stage will be the second stage. This stage of education will also span three years. The third, fourth, and fifth grades will lay the groundwork for the intermediate and secondary phases.
• The third stage of education will be middle school. This is for students in grades 6th through 8th. These three years will prepare pupils for the ultimate part of their education, secondary school.
• The secondary stage will be the final part of students’ schooling lives; instead of two years, students will have four years from Class 9th to Class 12th to complete their secondary education.

By the 5+3+3+4 structure, the government hopes to place a greater emphasis on pupils’ cognitive growth. The government will flesh out the schooling phases of kids through this system for their advantage. In contrast to the 10+2 framework, the 5+3+3+4 structure will enhance students’ foundations from the foundational to secondary stages. This new framework will also assist students in fully exercising their right to an education. Because the structure caters to children aged 3 to 18 rather than 6 to 14. As a result, the pupils will be helped from the start of their school life.

Aside from that, this structure will be useful in significantly enhancing student retention rates. With the implementation of this framework, more students will remain at their respective institutions throughout their academic careers. In short, this new framework will benefit students in every way imaginable. Furthermore, a higher literacy rate under this system will only benefit our country’s future.

Digital techniques of teaching have recently been a component of schooling due to technological advancements. Let us have a look at the digital techniques that the government will adopt to improve education through NEP 2023.

• The government will create a NETF (National Educational Technology Forum). This conference will aim to improve digital teaching methods in various schools by presenting new and innovative ideas.
• The government will establish a new organisation that will work across the country to offer more resources for digital education.
• There will be technology integration to improve the many operations in the classroom.

Effect of New Education Policy 2023

Here are the effects of the new education policy 2023 on different concerned categories:

The NEP will have an impact not only on pupils, but also on teachers and educational techniques. According to NEP 2023, a B. Ed degree is required to work as a teacher in a school. The eye-catching aspect of this is that this B.Ed course must be a 4-year integrated course. Because of this strategy, only qualified teachers will be hired for schools, which will undoubtedly aid in shaping pupils’ futures.

The NEP 2023 will also have an impact on students pursuing UG and Higher Education. According to the policy, a UG degree would last four years and will be multi-disciplinary, holistic, and flexible. Furthermore, students will be given many opportunities to withdraw from the degree programme. For example, students will receive a certificate upon completion of a one-year vocational or professional field course. They will receive a diploma after two years and a Bachelor’s degree after three years.

The duration of PG courses shall be limited to one to two years. Moreover, the Master of Philosophy programmes will no longer be available. The most ambitious decision in this programme for college-level education is the phase-out of the college affiliation system over the next 15 years. Furthermore, a new authority will be established to oversee all higher education courses, with the exception of legal and medical courses.

One of the most significant changes in the NEP is that pupils will be able to study in their mother tongue or regional language until the fifth grade. Furthermore, the administration has stated that this ceiling can be raised to the eighth grade. Students will understand what professors are teaching them better if they study in their native tongue. This policy will also help pupils learn more about their native language.

Education Redefined: A Guide to the New Education Policy 2023 in India

June 13, 2023.

NEP2023 is a paradigm shift in the Indian education landscape. The New National Education Policy, implemented in 2023, marks a significant milestone in India’s education system. After following the same norms for 34 years, the Ministry of Education (formerly known as MHRD) introduced significant changes on July 29, 2020.

In this blog, we aim to provide answers by examining the major features of the policy and delving into the NEP’s V+III+III+IV structure.

So without further ado, let’s begin.

Table of Contents

National Education Policy (NEP) – An Overview

Organized by the Ministry of Education, India, NEP was launched on 29th July 2020. With the motto “Educate, Encourage and Enlighten” , it is bringing new amendments to modernize and improve the existing education system of India. It aims to accomplish 100% youth and adult literacy with four powerful pillars – Access, Equity, Quality, and Accountability .

The Main Goals of National Education Policy 2023

The primary objective of the National Education Policy is to elevate the standard of education in India to an international level, positioning the country as a leader in knowledge-based sectors. This is achieved through the policy’s focus on universalizing education.

Key Tenets of the New Education Policy:

• Unlocking the true potential of each learner
• Enhancing reading and numeracy skills
• Providing flexible learning opportunities
• Investing in public education
• Enhancing the quality of education
• Empowering learners by promoting research and good governance
• Ensuring transparency in education policy
• Emphasizing the use of digital assessment platforms
• Integrating digital tools and blended learning pedagogies
• Promoting multilingual education
• Enhancing creativity and logical thinking skills

Now what are the major reforms brought by the NEP 2023? Let’s find out.

Transformative Reforms in the New Education Policy 2023

• V+III+III+IV model: Replacing the X+II structure with a new model that spans 5 years of foundational education, followed by 3 years of preparatory education, 3 years of middle education, and 4 years of secondary education.
• Integration of disciplines: No distinct divisions between arts, sciences, academic, vocational, curricular, and extracurricular subjects.
• Focus on foundational skills: Prioritizing foundational reading and numeracy skills.
• Language flexibility: No imposition of any state language on students studying in different states.
• Board Examinations: Allowing students to take board exams twice.
• Increased education investment: Increasing the government’s expenditure on education from 1.7% to 6% of the country’s GDP.
• Gender inclusion fund: Establishing a dedicated fund for promoting gender inclusion in education.
• Special attention to gifted children: Ensuring suitable education for gifted students.
• Four-year undergraduate courses: Extending the duration of undergraduate programs to four years.
• B.Ed Course requirement: Requiring a four-year integrated B.Ed course for teacher positions.
• Common Admission Examination: Implementing a common entrance examination for admission to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
• Phasing out the M.Phil program: Gradual elimination of the Master of Philosophy program from the education system.
• Diverse secondary school options: Offering a range of disciplines in secondary schools, including arts and crafts, vocational courses, and physical education.
• PARAKH organization: Establishing the PARAKH organization to set standards for board examinations.
• Inclusion of Indian literature: Making Indian literature and classical languages part of the educational curriculum.
• Reduced exams: Conduct exams only in classes 2nd, 5th, and 8th instead of every academic year.

What is the New V+III+III+IV Education Structure?

NEP 2023 introduces a significant change in the education system by replacing the long-standing X+II structure with the innovative V+III+III+IV structure.

Under the new Pedagogical and Circular Structure, the government has divided students’ schooling into four distinct stages: Secondary, Middle, Preparatory, and Foundational. Each of these stages plays a crucial role in the educational development of students throughout their school years. Here is a breakdown of how these four stages will be organized within the schooling system:

• Foundational stage (5): This initial stage will focus on nurturing young minds from ages 3 to 8, emphasizing a play-based and activity-oriented approach to education in pre-school and 1st-2nd grade.
• Preparatory stage (3): From ages 8 to 11, this stage aims to build a strong foundation in various subjects and foster critical thinking skills in 3rd-5th grade.
• Middle stage (3): Spanning ages 11 to 14, this stage aims to provide a comprehensive education that includes a wide range of subjects and encourages experiential learning in 6th-8th grade.
• Secondary stage (4): From ages 14 to 18, this stage will focus on subject specialization and preparation for higher education or vocational training in 9th-12th grade.

This revamped structure aims to provide a more holistic and well-rounded education, catering to the different developmental needs of students at various stages.

Importance of the V+III+III+IV Structure in NEP 2023

The implementation of the V+III+III+IV structure in the new education policy holds significant value as it prioritizes the cognitive development stage of students.

This revised structure provides a more detailed framework for the various stages of students’ schooling, ensuring their overall growth and progress. Unlike the previous X+II structure, the V+III+III+IV model strengthens the educational foundation of students from the foundational stage all the way to the secondary stage.

The new structure also facilitates the effective utilization of the Right to Education , as it now encompasses ages 3 to 18 instead of the previous 6 to 14 age range. Consequently, students will receive support right from the beginning of their educational journey.

Moreover, the introduction of the V+III+III+IV structure is expected to significantly improve student retention rates. With this new structure in place, more students are likely to remain in the same school throughout their academic journey.

Ultimately, a higher literacy rate resulting from the implementation of this structure will contribute to the overall advancement of our country’s future.

Furthermore, NEP 2023 emphasizes the significance of integrating digital tools and platforms into the education system. Let’s dive in.

Digital Inclusions in the National Education Policy 2023

In line with technological advancements, digital teaching methods have emerged as an integral part of modern education. Let’s explore the government’s digital initiatives outlined in the NEP 2023 to enhance the quality of education:

• The government will establish the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF) to promote and enhance the implementation of digital teaching methods in schools. This forum will serve as a platform for sharing innovative ideas and strategies related to digital education across different educational institutions.
• To further bolster digital education resources , a new unit will be introduced that will operate nationwide. This unit will focus on developing and curating digital learning materials, tools, and resources to support teachers and students in their educational journey.
• Furthermore, NEP 2023 emphasizes the integration of technology in classrooms to streamline and enhance various educational processes. This integration aims to leverage technology for instructional delivery, assessment methods, and overall classroom management, providing students with a more engaging and interactive learning environment.

Through these digital inclusions, the government aims to leverage technology to improve the overall quality of education and ensure students have access to diverse digital resources and innovative teaching methodologies.

Now that we’ve discussed the significance of digital education in NEP 2023, let’s explore how it can be implemented.

Role of Möbius in the National Education Policy 2023

Teaching Students About Etude Music: A Comprehensive Exploration of Musical Studies

Teaching students about the rydberg equation: a comprehensive guide for educators, engaging lessons on england’s prime ministers for k-12 classrooms, teaching students about epithet in literature: exploring literary devices and creative expression, teaching students about the tea act: a comprehensive guide, teaching students about concubines: unveiling the history, teaching students about the iconic “martin” show, teaching students about karen duffy: an inspiration for overcoming challenges, teaching students about stingray barbs: uncovering the mysteries of a unique marine adaptation, 12 colleges with the most nba players, what new education laws have been implemented in the u.s. in 2023.

The year 2023 has seen several significant changes in the education landscape of the United States as lawmakers have introduced and enacted a number of new laws aimed at improving the quality of education, increasing access, and ensuring fair opportunities for all students. This article will discuss key new education laws and their implications for students, schools, and educators.

1. Expansion of Universal Pre-K

In 2023, a new federal law was enacted that expands access to universal pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) education throughout the country. This legislation aims to make quality early childhood education more accessible by providing funding to states to establish, maintain, and expand public Pre-K programs. As a result, more families now have access to affordable and high-quality preschool options for their children.

2. Reformation of Student Loan Policies

In an effort to address the student loan crisis in the U.S., Congress passed a law in 2023 modernizing student loan policies by streamlining repayment options and introducing income-driven repayment plans with improved terms for borrowers. These reforms are expected to alleviate financial burdens on students and making it easier for them to pay off their student loans.

3. Teacher Training and Certification Reforms

In response to growing concerns about teacher shortages and the need to ensure qualified educators are in every classroom, new legislation introduced comprehensive reforms to teacher training and certification requirements. The law emphasizes the importance of rigorous preparation programs, ongoing professional development, and evidence-based evaluation systems that emphasize continuous improvement.

4. School Safety Improvements

In light of recent events surrounding school shootings and other violent incidents on school grounds, lawmakers have enacted new school safety measures in 2023. These include mandatory background checks for all school personnel, increased funding for mental health services in schools, and new safety protocols that require schools to hold regular drills and develop emergency response plans.

5. The Promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Education

To prepare students for the high-demand jobs of the future, Congress enacted new legislation in 2023 that prioritizes science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. The law provides funding for schools to purchase updated equipment and materials, as well as implement necessary curricular and instructional changes to boost student performance in STEM subjects.

Conclusion:

The education laws implemented in the United States in 2023 reflect the complex challenges faced by the educational system. These changes seek to address key issues such as access to quality early childhood education, student loan reform, teacher training and certification, school safety improvements, and promoting STEM education. The potential impact of these laws will become apparent in the following years as they are gradually put into practice across the country.

Best Education Articles of 2023: Our 23 Most Important Stories About Students, Schools & Learning Recovery 

From students’ stalled learning recovery to the shifting politics of education reform and cybersecurity at schools, here were the year’s top themes..

Now three years since COVID’s first classroom closures and a year before districts start to feel the true impact of the fiscal cliff, 2023 marked a pivotal moment for students and schools across America. Fresh scores revealed the stalled state of learning recovery. Educators warned about an escalating chronic absenteeism crisis that has seen students disengage and thrown off track. New political alliances formed around school choice legislation and education savings accounts. Districts became one of the preferred targets of cyberhackers, who posted sensitive student information online. A national alarm was sounded about the state of teen mental health. 

From the classroom to the ballot box to the dark web, we’ve been tracking the key storylines of 2023. Here’s our most memorable and impactful journalism of the year: 

‘Education’s Long COVID’: New Data Shows Recovery Stalled for Most Students

By  Linda Jacobson

Data released this past July from NWEA showed that learning recovery had essentially stalled for most students, in the wake of the pandemic. The results from 6.7 million students showed that, on average, they need four additional months in school to catch up to pre-pandemic levels. Older and Black and Hispanic students need much more, and the gap between pre- and post-pandemic achievement for kids in fourth through eighth grade grew larger this year instead of smaller.

Exclusive Spending Data: Schools Still Pouring Money Into Reading Materials That Teach Kids to Guess

By  Asher Lehrer-Small  

Districts across the country continue to pour money into expensive reading materials criticized for leaving many children without the basic ability to sound out words, an investigation by The 74’s Asher Lehrer-Small revealed. Since the blockbuster Sold a Story podcast launched in October of 2022, opening the eyes of many to problematic reading instruction nationwide, at least 225 districts have spent over $1.5 million on new books, training and curriculums linked to the flawed “three-cueing” method, according to a review of their purchase orders.

Seizing on Parents’ Frustration, GOP Governors Push for Education Savings Accounts

Originally published in January: Republican governors across the country have put education savings accounts at the center of their 2023 legislative agendas. Many draw inspiration from states like Arizona, where almost 46,000 students use ESAs for private school, tutoring and homeschooling. “Parents want an all-of-the-above approach when it comes to how their kids are educated,” said ExcelinEd’s Tom Greene. But Jessica Levin of the Education Law Center said there’s still “a broad spectrum of groups that come out against them.” Read the full story . 

Campus Road Trip Diary: 8 Things We Learned This Year About America’s Most Innovative High Schools

For months, The 74’s  journalists crisscrossed the country visiting innovative high schools, both established and emerging, that are headed by educators seeking answers to one common question: What if we could start over and try something totally new? The 13 schools profiled in our High School Road Trip series represent just a small sample, but they offer a promising vision of what young people, freed from 200 years of tradition and offered freedom, guidance, opportunity and agency, can look forward to. Greg Toppo and Emmeline Zhao have eight key takeaways .

As Test Scores Crater, Debate Over Whether There’s a ‘Science’ To Math Recovery

By  Jo Napolitano

Are you team Fact Fluency or team Conceptual Understanding? That’s how one professor boiled down the debate over what’s being called the “science of math.” That movement favors fact fluency, which says students need explicit, orderly instruction and must learn math’s vocabulary to understand it. Others argue that children are more likely to engage with math when they can explore its concepts and the reasoning behind them, and call the alternative approach failed and outdated. Jo Napolitano reports .

Sales Skyrocket for Phone Pouch Company as In-School Bans Spread

Yondr, a company that produces pouches for locking up students’ phones, has seen more than a tenfold increase in sales since 2021 — a clear sign that the movement to keep phones out of classrooms is spreading across the U.S. A Senate bill that calls for $5 million to support such bans could send even more business Yondr’s way. One proponent called the system a game changer for improving students’ focus in school, but others say a complete ban goes too far. Linda Jacobson reports .

Due Process, Undue Delays: Families Trapped in NYC’s Decades-Long Special Ed Bottleneck

By  Beth Hawkins

Twenty years ago, disabled children in the nation’s largest school system had their day in court and won. But today, even with fat files of documentation and legal orders in their favor, thousands of New York special education families can’t get the district to pay for services. Now, a backlog of children who went unevaluated and unserved during the pandemic threatens to further overwhelm the system. Beth Hawkins reported in June on a court-appointed overseer’s daunting list of recommendations and the struggles of one family caught in the dysfunction .

ChatGPT Is Landing Kids in the Principal’s Office, Survey Finds

By  Mark Keierleber  

Ever since ChatGPT burst onto the scene last year, educators have worried that it could help kids plagiarize. While 50% of teachers say they know of a student being disciplined for using — or accused of using — generative artificial intelligence, students say they are more likely to access it for personal problems than homework. That’s a top finding from a Center for Democracy and Technology report released in September that also documents a surge in school-based digital privacy concerns among students and parents. Read Mark Keierleber’s report .  

The Mystery of Ryan Walters: How a Beloved History Teacher Became Oklahoma’s Culture-Warrior-in-Chief

Ryan Walters was one of the most well-liked teachers at McAlester High, known for skillfully explaining complex social and political movements in AP history class. But former students and colleagues barely recognize the man who last year was elected Oklahoma’s schools superintendent. Walters’s relentless crusade against “woke ideology” and attacks on educators have pushed the former small-town teacher into the national spotlight, alarming even some fellow Republicans. One lawmaker told reporter Linda Jacobson, “This guy cares more about getting on Fox News than he does about doing his job.” Read the full report .  

Why a New Brand of Cyberattack on Las Vegas Schools Should Worry Everyone

By  Mark Keierleber

It was a Thursday morning when Las Vegas mom Brandi Hecht woke up to an unnerving email telling her that sensitive information about her daughters had been leaked and here were the PDFs to prove it. Hecht was being used as leverage in a new kind of cyberattack where the hackers went directly to parents and local media to issue threats and where they didn’t use sophisticated skills to infiltrate and extract data, but instead exploited weak student passwords and flimsy file-sharing practices in Google Workspace. With “virtually every school in the U.S.” relying on similar cloud-based suites, one K-12 cybersecurity expert said the breach methods used against Clark County Public Schools should set off alarm bells for educators nationwide.

Six Hidden (and Not-So-Hidden) Factors Driving America’s Student Absenteeism Crisis

By  Greg Toppo

As schools face record-setting chronic absenteeism nearly years after the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, educators are looking for ways to bring students back into the fold of school. Here are six hidden and not-so-hidden possible reasons why so many young people are missing so much school — from worsening mental health to a higher minimum wage. 

Exclusive: Despite K-2 Reading Gains, Results Flat for 3rd Grade ‘COVID Kids’

By  Linda Jacobson  

As of late February, the percentage of third graders on track in reading hadn’t budged since the same time in 2022, according to data provided by curriculum provider Amplify. The results, from 300,000 students in 43 states, was a reminder of the literacy setbacks experienced by those in kindergarten when schools shut down in 2020. But the data showed racial gaps had narrowed and K-2 students showed growth over the previous year, as skills among younger students slowly inched back to pre-pandemic levels. Linda Jacobson reports .

With More Teachers & Fewer Students, Districts Are Set up for Financial Trouble

By  Chad Aldeman

To understand the teacher labor market, you have to hold two competing narratives in your head. On one hand, teacher turnover hit new highs, morale is low and schools are facing shortages. At the same time, public schools employ more teachers than before COVID, while serving 1.9 million fewer students. Student-teacher ratios are near all-time lows. Contributor Chad Aldeman and Eamonn Fitzmaurice, The 74’s art and technology director, plotted these changes on an exclusive, interactive map — and explain how they’re putting districts in financial peril.

‘U.S. Education Is a Challenged Space’: In Exclusive 74 Interview, Bill Gates Talks Learning Recovery, AI and His Big Bet on Math

By  Kevin Mahnken

Bill Gates may wield more influence over U.S. schools than any other figure outside the federal government. In the past 20 years, his massive philanthropic efforts have fostered a movement for small schools, fueled the spread of the Common Core standards and supported experimentation in teacher evaluations. Now, with student achievement still mired in the post-COVID doldrums, his foundation is making a billion-dollar commitment to revive math learning. “U.S. education is a challenged space,” the Microsoft founder told The 74’s Kevin Mahnken.

Stockton, California: What Happens When a Dysfunctional District Gets $241 Million

The Stockton school district in California’s Central Valley received $241 million in relief funds to help students recover from the pandemic. But, beset by dysfunction in its central office and deep mistrust among board members, it spent millions on two abandoned projects and six-figure salaries for its central office staff. Last winter, an independent auditor released the results of a long-awaited fraud investigation into the district’s finances. Linda Jacobson reports .

New Study: Schools Prioritizing Social-Emotional Learning See Strong Academic Benefits

A recent study of Chicago Public Schools shows high schools that prioritized social-emotional development had double the positive long-term impact on students compared with those that focused solely on improving test scores. “How safe students feel —  physically, socially, psychologically — how deeply connected they are to others, how much they trust their teachers and their peers matters,” University of Chicago senior research associate Shanette Porter told Jo Napolitano.

They Stood Up to NYC Schools For Their Disabled Child. Then Child Protective Services Arrived

By  Asher Lehrer-Small

After their autistic and nonverbal 7-year-old son came home from school with unexplained injuries, Luis and Michelle Diaz pressed for answers. But, to their surprise, the school pointed the finger back at the family, alleging neglect of their child. The response reveals a startling pattern: Across the nation’s largest district, parents who speak up on behalf of their special education children say they are accused of abuse — a tactic advocates say schools use to intimidate parents. Asher Lehrer-Small reports in this special 74 Investigation .

Teen Mental Health Crisis Pushes More School Districts to Sue Social Media Giants

By  Marianna McMurdock

Teenagers’ mental health has so taxed and alarmed school districts that many are suing the social media giants they say helped cause the crisis. At least 11 districts, one county and one county system that oversees 23 districts have filed suits this year, representing roughly 469,000 students. Sources say more will follow. “Schools, states and Americans across the country are rightly pushing back against Big Tech putting profits over kids’ safety online,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal told The 74’s Marianna McMurdock. Read our full report . 

Amid the Pandemic, a Classical Education Boom: What if the Next Big School Trend Is 2,500 Years Old?

Classical education, perhaps the oldest model of formal instruction in the Western world, is rapidly gaining adherents in the modern day. Sharing a focus on the liberal arts that can be traced back to the ancient world, classical schools have spread across the charter, private and homeschooling sectors in recent decades. Particularly since the pandemic, reports Kevin Mahnken, they’ve been embraced by families seeking an alternative to traditional schools — and by politicians, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who see them as a check on progressive influences in the classroom. Read the full story .  

Exclusive: Virginia’s Fairfax Schools Expose Thousands of Sensitive Student Records

The Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, one of the nation’s largest, disclosed tens of thousands of sensitive, confidential student records, apparently by accident, to a parent advocate who has been an outspoken critic of its data privacy record. The files identify current and former special education students by name and include letter grades, disability status and mental health data. “If they don’t have a system to respond in a protective, … efficient manner, that’s on them,” said privacy expert Amelia Vance.

‘A Bankrupt Concept of Math’: Some Educators Argue Calculus Should Be Dethroned

Some in education say it’s time to reconsider calculus as an unofficial requirement for entrance to the nation’s top colleges. Many high schools — particularly those serving large numbers of Black, Hispanic or low-income students — don’t even offer the course. And even when they do, it’s of dubious value, critics say. “High school calculus is a complete waste of time and a form of torture,” Alan Garfinkel, professor of integrative biology and physiology and medicine at UCLA, told The 74’s Jo Napolitano .

Florida Just Became the Nation’s Biggest School Choice Laboratory

With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Ron DeSantis made Florida the nation’s biggest K-12 marketplace. The March law makes every student in the state eligible to receive a private school voucher or education savings account. In the best-case scenario, said economist Krzysztof Karbownik, schools and families will be able to “leverage the power of competition” to provide better options for kids. But he worries the new policy could create “a whole market for relatively low-quality private schools.” Kevin Mahnken reports .

Report: In 24 States, Using False Address to Get Into a Better School is a Crime

In nearly half the states in the country, parents risk criminal prosecution — and jail time — if they use a false address to get their children into a better school, according to a report from the nonprofits Available to All. The authors say enforcement largely targets minority families, and they want more states to follow Connecticut’s lead in decriminalizing so-called address sharing. But those tracking down offenders say residency fraud puts a strain on school budgets. Linda Jacobson reports .

National Education Policy 2023 – NEP 2023 Highlights

Introduction to national education policy 2023.

The National Education Policy was established in the year 2020. It came into existence during the academic year of 2023-24, thereby becoming popular as the NEP 2023. The policy is termed as one of the pathbreaking and game-changer documents that have been conceived and formulated with the objective of bringing about a complete transformation in the Indian education system by 2030.

The New National Education Policy 2023 critically envisions a brand-new holistic education system for the country, hinging on the effective adoption of modern training methods, application of technology, and imparting practical and contemporary skills, to shape the overall personality of students. The NEP 2023 aims to help students define and recharge their creative, analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities, topped by actively pursuing digital literacy.

Overall, the NEP 2023 provides for large-scale reforms in higher education, aiming to bring in more flexibility, shifting the focus from exam-centric to holistic and experiential, clearcut provision of entry/exit options, key synchronization of vocational subjects, and portability of academic credits to enable more mobility.

National Education Policy 2023

In summary, NEP 2023 or National Education Policy 2023 outlines the framework for the elementary education system, besides vocational training across the country. The NEP 2023 replaces the National Policy on Education of 1986 and spells out a significant shift in terms of many aspects, affecting certain historical changes. The most important among them is the transition from a 10 + 2  structure to a 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 system.

At the heart of National Education Policy 2023 lies the objective to realize an innovative, student-centric structure that segments student education into four stages: Foundational, Preparatory, Middle, and Secondary. The stages are considered crucial and in a natural order where students progress from one stage to another mentally, shaping and broadening the thought process in a holistic manner.

The NEP 2023 incorporates numerous shifts and changes in the education policy. It also provides for an increase in education expenditure from 3% to 6% of the GDP on a priority basis.

New National Education Policy 2023 Focus   

The new education policy focuses on transforming the Indian education system by providing equitable and quality education to all children aged 3-18 years.

NEP 2023 Goals

The goals are to develop creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication skills, and vocational skills, and promote lifelong learning.

New Education Policy 2023 Key Skills

Key skills to focus on include creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.

Let us list down the key areas where significant changes and shifts have been recommended in National Education Policy 2023:

NEP 2023 – Literacy Goal

To achieve 100% youth and adult literacy by 2030.

Fundamental Structural Change with NEP 2023

National Education Policy 2023 calls for replacing the 10 + 2 structure with a 5+3+3+4 model, recommended to attain foundational literacy and numeracy among students by Grade 3.

NEP 2023 Highlights

The policy states, “The highest priority of the education system will be to achieve universal foundational literacy and numeracy in primary school by 2025. The rest of this Policy will become relevant for our students only if this most basic learning requirement (i.e., reading, writing, and arithmetic at the foundational level) is first achieved. To this end, a National Mission on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy will be set up by the Ministry of Education on priority. Accordingly, all State/UT governments will immediately prepare an implementation plan for attaining universal foundational literacy and numeracy in all primary schools, identifying stage-wise targets and goals to be achieved by 2025, and closely tracking and monitoring the progress of the same”. Subsequently, the NIPUN Bharat Mission (National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy) was launched on 5 July 2021 to achieve this goal.

The transition of the model, as per National Education Policy 2023, will be implemented by reclassifying the education stages as the following:

• Foundational Stage: The fundamental stage of laying the foundation that is further stratified into two substages: 3 years of preschool or Anganwadi, followed by classes 1 and 2 in primary school. This essentially covers children between 3 and 8 years. The focus will be on activity-based learning.
• Preparatory Stage: Covering students of class 3-5, and in the age bracket, 8–10 years. Students will be steadily exposed to the fundamental learning aspects of speaking, reading, writing, physical education, art, science, languages, and mathematics.
• Middle Stage: This stage covers students of classes 6 to 8, in the age group of 11 and 13 years. It will introduce students to more abstract concepts in mathematics, sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities.
• Secondary Stage: Classes 9 to 12, covering the ages of 14–18 years. It is subclassified into two parts: classes 9 and 10, covering the first phase, while classes 11 and 12, covering the second phase. These 4 years of study is intended to inculcate multidisciplinary learning, driven by depth and critical thinking. This provides for multiple options of subjects.

NEP 2023 Examination Structure

The examinations will not be conducted every year but will be held as three milestones, at the end of the classes, 2, 5 & 8.

Revamped examination structure: Students will now actively participate in exams in grades 2, 5, and 8. This reduces the burden and periodicity of assessments that constantly keep children under pressure, with exam-mode preparation overpowering holistic learning. Board exams for grades 10 and 12 will change significantly, where biannual mode will be embraced and objective-descriptive formats will take center stage.

The New Education Policy 2023 thus aims to reduce the curriculum burden on students and will be more ‘inter-disciplinary and multi-lingual’. The reforms begin with the model of examinations.

Mother tongue promotion

The cornerstone of the New Education Policy 2023 is the importance accorded to education in one’s mother tongue. Up to class 5, the medium of instruction will be the mother tongue, with a scope to extend it to grade 8 in the future. In the thick of a national debate where governments are seen fervently promoting English as the medium of instruction from even the primary school level, this prescription reveals the crucial side of education built on the linguistic foundation.

The provision is meant to enhance students’ comprehension and enable the flow of more effective communication with teachers, building stronger bonds, and staying well-connected to one’s cultural roots and background. Through this encouragement, the NEP 2023 intends to enhance language proficiency and clear the cultural chasms encountered by this generation of students.

Interdisciplinary Curriculum

The NEP 2023 encourages interdisciplinary and multilingual education, fostering the promotion of a flexible curriculum that nurtures diverse skills and encourages seamless attainment of knowledge. Transformation is the Mantra that drives the New Education Policy 2023.

Coding and Experimental Learning

Changing according to times, coding will become an integral part of the curriculum in 6th grade, and by integrating experimental learning methods, there will be increased focus on practical and experiential understanding.

Health Focus

The National Education Policy 2023 extends the mid-day meal scheme to include breakfast, with the addition of counselors and social workers to prioritize students’ health and mental well-being.

Higher Education Reforms

Multidisciplinary Bachelor’s Degrees: A flexible 4-year undergraduate program with multiple exit points (certificate, diploma, bachelor’s) that help students gain proficiency in a particular skill set, completely.

• Goodbye to M.Phil.: The New Education Policy 2023 discontinues M.Phil. courses.
• Higher Education Commission: Under NEP 2023, a Higher Education Commission of India will operate to regulate and manage higher education that works proactively on enrollment ratios and ensure higher academic standards.
• Regulatory Councils: As per National Education Policy 2023, a National Higher Education Regulatory Council will oversee higher education (this excludes medical and legal education). Also, a Higher Education Grant Council will financially aid universities and colleges, thus effectively replacing existing bodies.
• Internationalization: The policy fosters international collaboration by allowing foreign universities and institutes to set up campuses and centers in India. This is aimed at maximizing international exposure for students.
• Fee Regulation: Both private and public universities will ensure regulated fees, to realize equitable access to quality education
• College Affiliation: Will be phased out in 15 years, lending autonomous status to the colleges
• District-level Universities: At least one high-quality multidisciplinary institute of excellence will be established in every district of the country by 2030, providing broader access to education
• Multidisciplinary Universities: All universities will graduate into major multidisciplinary institutions by 2040, becoming destinations for holistic education.

NEP 2023 Teachers Policy Alterations

The NEP 2020 has listed certain significant policy alterations with respect to teachers and teacher education. Eligibility criteria have been clearly laid down to become a teacher. This includes a 4-year Bachelor of Education as the minimum requirement needed by 2030. Under the New National Education Policy 2023, the process of recruiting teachers is being strengthened and more transparency and equity is being brought into the system. The onus will be on the National Council for Teacher Education to formulate a National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education by 2021 and a National Professional Standards for Teachers by 2022.

New National Education Policy 2023 – How is it different from National Education Policy 1986

A significant departure is visible in many areas of the New National Education Policy 2023, in comparison with the older one. Let us broadly analyze some of the key differences between National Education Policy 2023 and National Education Policy 1986:

Holistic approach with a broader focus

In the New National Education Policy 2023, a strong emphasis has been laid on multiple dimensions that positively influence the overall growth of the student, mind development, and career clarity. This is seen in initiatives such as technology usage, experiential mode, and exit and entry options. Whereas, in the older National Education Policy 1986, the focus was on clearing exams, and gaining merits and degrees, since improving national literacy was the major challenge in those days.

Stress on language

The latest NEP 2023 displays unconditional veneration for Indian languages and identifies the cruciality of teaching in the mother tongue. The older policy did not touch down on this. Historic negligence of Indian languages seems to be aptly fixed in National Education Policy 2023, a much-needed attention that was grossly missing in the older education policies.

New Education Structure

With the latest 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 system, the National Education Policy 2023 calls for a paradigm shift that is set to turn into an epochal development. In the older policy, there was little attention or attempt to address the education structure reforms.

Multidisciplinary approach

Choosing a stream of choice with a career and passion in mind is always a challenge for the child. The choking that every child had to go through due to the terms of the older policy has been fixed in the New National Education Policy 2023. NEP 2023 clearly paves the way for a multidisciplinary approach that enables students to opt for subjects across streams, thus encouraging cross-disciplinary learning.

Education from early stages

The National Education Policy 2023 clearly attaches importance to education from early childhood. The older policy did not focus on this aspect.

As the latest NEP 2023 is unveiled and put into action, the world is already witnessing rapid progress and development on the technological front. The advent and intervention of technology have completely changed the way we live. The education sector is not immune to this. The NEP 2023 attempts to raise the bar in this direction and makes ample provisions to encourage and proliferate technological interventions in the education system. In the old policy of 1986, this was obviously missing.

Vocational education

The National Education Policy 2023 invites the incorporation of vocational education in mainstream education with appropriate synchronization that only complements conventional education rather than competing or cannibalizing it. With stress on fostering skill development and boosting entrepreneurship, the NEP 2023 constituents are on the job in the right way. The older policy only resulted in building degree factories where institutions were more into propagating the importance of mainstream subjects with an examination perspective. In the NEP 2023, there is a clear importance given to honing the skills and competencies of the children from a young age, thereby preparing them for their careers.

Experiential Learning

The National Education Policy 2023 is for experiential learning, encouraging learning while observing experiencing, and handling real-world applications. The older policy was hinging on rote learning and memorization.

Changes in Assessment Methods

The National Education Policy 2023 without any ambiguity calls for changes in the way assessment is carried out. This includes the adoption of continuous and complete evaluation, while the older policy of 1986 focused on examinations as the real and final benchmark of a student’s performance. NEP 2023 also proposes setting up of a new National Assessment Centre for evaluating learning outcomes.

Final Notes

This is all about the National Education Policy 2023, hope this article clears all the information about the NEP 2023 along with the difference between NEP 2023 with the previous education policies.

Education Policy

Promising state legislation related to english learners in 2023.

Shutterstock

Leslie villegas, march 28, 2023.

Last month the Biden Administration released its proposed budget for fiscal year 2024 which included $1.2 billion to support the education of English learners/multilingual learners (ELs/MLLs) through Title III. This historic investment coupled with Secretary of Education Cardona’s remarks at the 52nd Annual International Bilingual and Bicultural Education Conference hosted by the National Association for Bilingual Education signal a positive shift in how linguistically diverse students in K–12 schools are viewed and supported at the national level. At the same time, states’ 2023 legislative sessions are well underway and a limited sampling of legislation introduced thus far reveals promising proposals for ELs/MLLs from California to Connecticut.

Addressing Workforce Needs

According to recent data, the number of certified EL instructors decreased by about 10 percent despite continual growth among the EL population. To address this issue, AB 1127 (Reyes) in California would re-establish the Bilingual Teacher Professional Development Program (BTPDP) to address the state’s bilingual teacher shortage through a “grow your own" approach. The bill includes a $20 million budget appropriation to implement the program.

In Texas, HB 2168 (Guerra) focuses on building the EL teacher pipeline by requiring the state education agency to develop a program of study for use in career and technology education programs that prepares and assists students in pursuing a career teaching English learners. Specifically, the bill prioritizes those seeking to work in bilingual education, English as a second language, or Spanish. This bill would also call on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to create a financial incentive program that would offer tuition assistance or student loan repayment to teachers who want to go into these fields. The student loan component in this bill is similar to federal proposal H.R. 460 (Espaillat) which would allow elementary and secondary school teachers across the country who teach ELs, bilingual students, or dual language immersion students to receive additional amounts of student loan forgiveness and loan cancellation.

And in Rhode Island, H 6023 (Morales, Caldwell, and Sanchez) introduced the “Multilingual Educators Investment Act.” This bill seeks to promote and increase the number of bilingual dual language and world language teachers in urban schools by strengthening and expanding program options. To do this, the bill would require collaboration between the state offices/departments that govern postsecondary, secondary and elementary education in consultation with Rhode Island College, the University of Rhode Island, and any other state approved program that prepares teachers for world language and/or bilingual/dual language certification. The bill also establishes a scholarship program to promote and increase the number of multilingual PreK–12 educators in public schools in urban areas. The bill appropriates $2 million starting in FY 2024 to implement the scholarship, with priority awarded to multilingual individuals.

Boosts to Dual Language Programs

Dual language programs positively impact ELs’ acquisition of the English language and promote higher achievement on academic measures, including math and reading scores. These programs also support the maintenance and growth of ELs’ bilingualism and biliteracy. As such, these programs have received increased attention across the country.

In Washington, HB 1228 (Ortiz-Self) aims to build a multilingual, multiliterate Washington through dual and tribal language education. Specifically, this bill would instruct the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to administer a grant program to support school districts and state-tribal education compact schools who want to establish and/or expand dual language education in their jurisdictions. This is similar to legislation passed in 2017 which expired on July 1, 2020 and was last funded for fiscal year 2021. Additionally, this bill establishes stipends for certificated instructional staff and paraeducators with multilingual skills.

In Rhode Island, H 5777 introduced by Representative Felix and others would require the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish a dual language program fund within the department and appropriates $300,000 to start this fund. If adopted, the department will be required to establish and maintain a dual language pilot program to provide grants to school districts and schools that establish DL programs. The department would also be responsible for creating a competitive request for proposals process to allocate funding. And in order to qualify, a local education agency must use an instructional model that provides at least 50 percent of instruction in a language other than English based on the needs of the community served.

And in Maryland, HB1098 , also known as the “Multilingualism is an Asset Act”, introduced by Delegates R. Lewis and others would not only increase the per-pupil funding allocation for all ELs moving forward, but it would also provide additional funding for certain English learners, including newcomer ELs as well as those with limited or interrupted formal education. In addition to this, the bill seeks to establish the Dual Language Immersion Program in the state department of education. This program would be responsible for developing, funding, implementing, scaling up, and sustaining the expansion of research-based dual language two-way immersion programs in the state. Starting in FY 2025 and each fiscal year thereafter, the governor would be required to include $10,000,000 in the annual budget to implement the program.

Other proposal worth noting include Connecticut’s “ English Learner Bill of Rights ,” introduced by Governor Ned Lamont, which would enshrine certain rights and responsibilities to these students including the right of EL students to attend public education regardless of immigration status, have translation services provided, participate in a program of bilingual education offered by the local or regional board of education when there are twenty or more eligible students, and right to have equal access to all grade-level school programming, to name a few.

In California, Governor Newsom included various EL-related policy changes in his budget trailer bill including the requirement that long-term ELs be reported out separately in the state's public school performance accountability program. Separately, AB 714 (McCarty) would require the state department of education to support newcomer students by developing and providing instructional guidance for school districts, reporting newcomer data publicly, and examining official curricular frameworks for newcomer inclusion. Lastly AB 393 (L. Rivas) continues the work of 2021’s AB 1363 by requiring the Department of Social Services to develop a standardized process for general child care and development programs to identify dual language learners (DLLs), and requiring programs to report key aggregated information about DLLs to the state.

These bills have yet to work their way through their respective legislative processes, and only time will tell how these bills will fare among the mounting politicization of education in the U.S. However, they shine a positive light on states’ commitment to advancing policies that benefit ELs and their families.

• Essay on New Education Policy (NEP)

Education helps us discover and accomplish our aims and make a fair contribution to the society. In a similar vein, education contributes significantly to a country's national growth. The National Education Policy 2020 was authorised by the Government of India since there is a significant change taking place in the world. Here are some sample essays on New Education Policy 2023.

100 Words Essay on New Education Policy

200 words essay on new education policy, 500 words essay on new education policy 2023.

The goal of the New Education Policy is to make education available to everyone from preschool through high school. With a 100% GRE (Gross Enrollment Ratio) in academics, it intends to achieve that. It is intended to be accomplished by 2030. A four-year, interdisciplinary undergraduate curriculum with a range of exit choices is what it intends to introduce. As a result, this new strategy aims to transform India into a superpower in the field of knowledge.

In similar terms, it seeks to make all colleges and universities multidisciplinary by the year 2040. The initiative also intends to fundamentally alter the current educational system while increasing the availability of jobs in India.

The New National Education Policy has had a really revolutionary impact on the Indian educational system. After 34 years of our education policy following the same standards without change, the Ministry of Education (formerly known as MHRD) made some significant changes to it on July 29, 2020. The Indian government just adopted this New National Education Policy for 2023.

How It Will Affect Learning Outcomes

It's no secret that the new education policy is going to affect students in a big way. But what exactly does that mean for them?

Well, for one, the new policy is going to impact learning outcomes. Students will no longer be able to coast through school by memorising facts and figures. Instead, they'll be required to apply what they learn in a hands-on way, in order to demonstrate their understanding of the material. This is a big change, and it'll take some time for students and educators to adjust. But in the long run, it's going to result in better-educated students who are prepared for the challenges of the real world.

The new education policy also includes a number of changes that will impact educators directly. For example, the policy stipulates that all educators must have a bachelor's degree in order to teach in public schools. Additionally, educators will be required to complete professional development courses on a regular basis.

When the new education policy is implemented, there will be some big changes for the teaching community.

Change for Teachers and Educators

First and foremost, the policy shifts the focus from teacher-centred instruction to student-centred instruction. This means that the teacher's role will change from delivering information to facilitating learning.

In order to facilitate learning, teachers will need to develop new skills. They will need to be able to create a safe and welcoming environment where all students feel comfortable participating, and they will need to be able to adapt their lessons to meet the needs of each individual student.

Benefits for Students Under New National Education Policy 2023

The new education policy is, in essence, a shift from memorization to learning. The main focus of the policy is to provide a holistic education that focuses on the development of the student's mind and body. Here are some of the ways this could benefit students:

More opportunity for students to pursue their interests outside of school - whether that be an extracurricular activity such as art or music, or receiving extra tutoring to help them excel in academics. A wider range of learning options that can provide students with tailored instruction and help them develop their individual skills.

More emphasis placed on experiential learning, where students are encouraged to apply what they've learned in school through projects and real-world activities. Increased access to technology including an increased use of digital classrooms and online resources such as eBooks, which can make studying more efficient and convenient.

These changes will make the education system more dynamic and create an environment where students can better prepare themselves for their future endeavours.

What Parents Need to Know About the New Education Policy

The new education policy is going to bring about a lot of change, and it's important for parents to be aware of how it will affect their children. First and foremost, the new policy puts more emphasis on technology and digital learning resources, so it's important for parents to ensure that their children have access to a reliable internet connection. Parents should also look into resources like online tutoring or additional support services that may be available to help their child stay on top of their studies.

It's also important for parents to be mindful of the potential stress and anxiety that students may experience while adjusting to the new system. Parents should make sure they provide emotional and moral support as needed, check in with their kids regularly, and encourage them to take breaks when needed

Finally, it's important for parents to educate themselves on the new policy so they can better understand what changes are taking place and how they can best support their children through the transition period. Changes in education policy can be difficult to navigate and often cause a lot of uncertainty. However, with the right preparation and support, you can make the most of the new policy and continue to achieve your academic goals.

January 7, 2022

Entering 2022, the world of education policy and practice is at a turning point. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt the day-to-day learning for children across the nation, bringing anxiety and uncertainty to yet another year. Contentious school-board meetings attract headlines as controversy swirls around critical race theory and transgender students’ rights. The looming midterm elections threaten to upend the balance of power in Washington, with serious implications for the federal education landscape. All of these issues—and many more—will have a tremendous impact on students, teachers, families, and American society as a whole; whether that impact is positive or negative remains to be seen.

Below, experts from the Brown Center on Education Policy identify the education stories that they’ll be following in 2022, providing analysis on how these issues could shape the learning landscape for the next 12 months—and possibly well into the future.

I will also be watching the Department of Education’s negotiated rulemaking sessions and following any subsequent regulatory changes to federal student-aid programs. I expect to see changes to income-driven repayment plans and will be monitoring debates over regulations governing institutional and programmatic eligibility for federal student-loan programs. Notably, the Department of Education will be re-evaluating Gainful Employment regulations—put in place by the Obama administration and rescinded by the Trump administration—which tied eligibility for federal funding to graduates’ earnings and debt.

But the biggest and most concerning hole has been in the  substitute teacher force —and the ripple effects on school communities have been broad and deep. Based on personal communications with Nicola Soares, president of  Kelly Education , the largest education staffing provider in the country, the pandemic is exacerbating several problematic trends that have been quietly simmering for years. These are: (1) a growing reliance on long-term substitutes to fill permanent teacher positions; (2) a shrinking supply of qualified individuals willing to fill short-term substitute vacancies; and, (3) steadily declining fill rates for schools’ substitute requests. Many schools in high-need settings have long faced challenges with adequate, reliable substitutes, and the pandemic has turned these localized trouble spots into a widespread catastrophe. Though federal pandemic-relief funds could be used to meet the short-term weakness in the substitute labor market (and mainline teacher compensation, too ), this is an area where we sorely need more research and policy solutions for a permanent fix.

First, what’s to come of the vaccine for ages 0-4? This is now the main impediment to resuming in-person activity. This is the only large group that currently cannot be vaccinated. Also, outbreaks are triggering day-care closures, which has a significant impact on parents (especially mothers), including teachers and other school staff.

Second, will schools (and day cares) require the vaccine for the fall of 2022? Kudos to my hometown of New Orleans, which still appears to be the nation’s only district to require vaccination. Schools normally require a wide variety of other vaccines, and the COVID-19 vaccines are very effective. However, this issue is unfortunately going to trigger a new round of intense political conflict and opposition that will likely delay the end of the pandemic.

Third, will we start to see signs of permanent changes in schooling a result of COVID-19? In a previous post on this blog, I proposed some possibilities. There are some real opportunities before us, but whether we can take advantage of them depends on the first two questions. We can’t know about these long-term effects on schooling until we address the COVID-19 crisis so that people get beyond survival mode and start planning and looking ahead again. I’m hopeful, though not especially optimistic, that we’ll start to see this during 2022.

The CTC and universal pre-K top my list for 2022, but it’s a long list. I’ll also be watching the Supreme Court’s ruling on vouchers in Carson v. Makin , how issues like critical race theory and detracking play into the 2022 elections, and whether we start to see more signs of school/district innovation in response to COVID-19 and the recovery funds that followed.

Electoral dynamics will affect several important issues: the selection of state superintendents; the use of American Rescue Plan funds; the management of safe return to in-person learning for students; the integration of racial justice and diversity into curriculum; the growth of charter schools; and, above all, the extent to which education issues are leveraged to polarize rather than heal the growing divisions among the American public.

Challenges of NEP

Bottom line.

The “New National Education Policy (NEP)”, which was approved by the Union Cabinet , is expected to bring a flurry of reforms, ranging from school curriculum reductions to the abolition of MPhil programs.

The NEP aspires to develop an education system that directly contributes to the country’s transformation by delivering high-quality education to all citizens and developing India into a global knowledge superpower.

The new education policy was adopted by the Modi government. The 10 + 2 structure has been fully eliminated in the new education policy. Our country’s educational curriculum has been based on 10 + 2, but it will soon be based on 5+ 3+ 3+ 4. This means that one-half is from primary to second grade, the second portion is from third to fifth grade, the third part is from sixth to eighth grade, and the last part is from ninth to 12th grade.

We’ll provide you with a quick overview of the New Education Policy 2021-2023, including the Scheme Benefits and key Features.

The Indian government’s New Education Policy is referred to as NEP. It was last modified in 1992 after being drafted in 1986. The Modi-led BJP government vowed in its election manifesto to create a new education policy, or NEP, to bring about changes in the education sector.

In July 2020, the Union Cabinet of India approved the New National Education Policy (NEP)  with the aim to bring modern reforms in the Indian education system from the school to the college level. This policy stands on the ideology to make India a ‘ global knowledge superpower .’ In addition to this, it was with the introduction of NEP in 2020 that the Ministry of Human Resource Development was renamed to the Ministry of Education.

The new National Education Policy is based on the pillars of Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability, and Accountability . It aims to make both school and college education more holistic, multidisciplinary, and flexible, which aligns with the 2020 agenda for sustainable development.

The Need for New National Education Policy (NEP)

Up until the introduction of the New National Education Policy in 2020, there were many pitfalls in the Indian education system. Memorisation was prioritised more over the understanding of concepts. In addition to this, the presence of multiple boards was a big issue. Each board had different learning methods for different skills, and then every student had to take the same standardised board exam.

Furthermore, in the past years, more emphasis was laid on learning or mastering traditional subjects and less on developing vocational skills. In the new education policy, all the pitfalls and limitations of the Indian education system are taken care of. Moreover, the policy intends to bridge the gap between vocational and formal education.

• 1948 – The 1st commission, University Education Commission, was set up
• 1952 – The Secondary Education Commission was established
• 1964-1966 – The Indian Education Commission was introduced
• 1968 – 1st National Education Policy came up
• 1986 – A new policy was formulated
• 1992 – The previous education policy was modified
• 2005 – The 1986 education policy was again modified
• 2020 – The new National Education Policy (NEP) was passed by the cabinet

A panel of specialists, led by former ISRO chief K Kasturirangan , discussed the difficulties and adjustments that need to be made in the Indian education system, which included everything from school to college to recruitment. These proposals were gathered, and the Ministry then approved them.

Important Highlights of New Education Policy 2023

1. Schooling starts at the age of 3 years now

The New Education Policy extends compulsory schooling from the age bracket of 6-14 years to 3-18 years. The NEP includes three years of previously unrecognized pre-schooling for children aged 3-6 years in the school curriculum. The new system will include 12 years of formal education and three years of Anganwadi/pre-school education.

The 10+2 school curriculum framework will be replaced with a 5+3+3+4 curricular structure corresponding to ages 3-8, 8-11, 11-14, and 14-18 years, respectively, with an emphasis on Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE).

2. Mother tongue as medium of instruction

The NEP emphasizes pupils’ native language as the medium of teaching while adhering to the “three-language formula” and ensuring that no language is imposed on anyone. The NEP simply suggests using the mother tongue as a medium of instruction rather than making it mandatory.

According to the policy paper, children learn and grasp non-trivial topics faster in their native language.

The home language, mother tongue, local language, or regional language will be used as the medium of instruction until at least Grade 5, but preferably until Grade 8 and beyond. Following that, wherever practicable, the home or local language will be taught as a language. “Both public and private schools will follow this,” the regulation adds.

3. NO UGC, AICTE, NCTE

The Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) will be established as a single umbrella body for all higher education in India, excluding medical and legal education. Regulation, accreditation, and academic standards will all be governed by the same set of rules for public and private higher education institutions.

In 15 years, the government will phase down college affiliation, and a stage-by-stage procedure for providing colleges with graded autonomy will be formed.

4. Science, Arts, and Commerce gets blurred

There would be no formal distinctions between arts and sciences, curricular and extra-curricular activities, or vocational and academic programs under NEP 2020. Students can choose from a variety of disciplines throughout the streams. Internships will be included in vocational education, which will begin in sixth grade.

5. FYUP Programme Returns & No More Dropouts

Under the NEP, undergraduate degrees will last three or four years, with several exit alternatives available during that time. After one year of study in a topic or field, including vocational and professional fields, colleges will be required to award a certificate, a diploma following two years of study, or a Bachelor’s degree after a three-year program.

The government will also create an Academic Bank of Credit to store academic credits earned at various HEIs digitally so that they can be transferred and counted toward a final degree.

Finally, based on the foregoing points, we can conclude that this policy implements much-needed adjustments. There was no uniform system in place, which has now been eliminated. It has more transparency and a single national agency in charge of overseeing the whole education system in the country.

6. Common access at all school-level education

NEP 2020 focuses on bringing universal access to school education to ensure the holistic development of students right from the beginning. According to this policy, students’ progress and their learning capacity will be tracked timely. Students will be given access to different learning modes, like formal and informal teaching methods. In addition to this, the policy states that vocational education courses are to be included in the curriculum from pre-school to 12th standard. The policy is not just limited to knowledge or skills; it also emphasises the inclusion of trained counsellors and social workers in the schooling system.

7. Attaining Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) starting from grade 3 by 2025

FLN is a broad concept which refers to a child’s capability to read basic texts and solve basic numerical problems such as addition and subtraction. It is considered an urgent and vital prerequisite to learning. Keeping this in mind, the NEP has directed the states to prepare a plan on how to implement and achieve this in the curriculum for all primary school students by 2025.

8. Experiential learning in the school curriculum

The policy states that the school curriculum and pedagogy should aim for the holistic development of students by designing the coursework that would equip them with 21st-century skills. Students will have to study a reduced course content, which will emphasise experiential learning and critical thinking and give students the choice of subjects they wish to study. Moreover, vocational education will be made available in class 6th-8th, along with internship opportunities.

9. Increase the graduate enrollment ratio

In the past years, very few students opted for higher education. So in view of this concern, the policy aims to incorporate a maximum number of students in higher education, including vocational education. The graduate enrolment ratio is expected to increase up to 50% by 2035 from 26.3% in 2018.  Also, with the multiple exit options in higher education, it is expected that the student dropout rate will reduce.

10. Enhancing the Standards of Open and Distance Learning

The government has already taken initiatives to bring the standards of distance learning programmes at par with regular courses. Measures like online courses, digital repositories, funding for improved student services and research, and credit-based recognition of MOOCs, among others are to be taken.

11. Technological innovation in education

National Educational Technology Forum (NETF), an autonomous body, will be started to offer a free exchange of ideas related to the usage of technology in enhancing the academic experience. This integration of technology is expected to improve the classroom processes, contribute to teacher professional development, and streamline the management of education planning.

12. Internationalisation of education

An important aspect of the NEP 2020 is that it promotes the internationalisation of education by encouraging institutions to forge global collaborations with universities and research institutes. This will not be limited to students, faculty exchange programmes will also be encouraged. Meanwhile, the policy aims to allow top world universities to open their campuses in India.

13. Increase in public investment in education

In line with the objective of the New Education Policy, the Centre and State governments will be working in collaboration to increase investment in education. The collaboration of both houses is expected to reach 6% of GDP in regard to the education sector at the earliest in order to improve the educational infrastructure.

How are the Top Institutions Implementing the New Education Policy in 2023?

Since its introduction in 2020, many Indian educational institutions have adopted the pattern of the new National Education Policy. After three years of adoption, many academicians from top Indian institutions, including IITs, NITs, and IISERs, have reviewed the implementation of the policy. They have shared the roadmap of the changes and upgrades they have made in the academic system.

As reported by the Deccan Chronicle , the Director of IIT Hyderabad, Prof. B.S. Murthy shared that the students were given a semester break with 6 credits to pursue innovative ventures. Their institution intended to promote entrepreneurship by encouraging students to pursue BUILD (Bold & Unique Ideas Leading Development) projects. On the other hand, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Hyderabad, Prof. B. Jagdeeshwar Rao, said that NEP measures have enabled students to pursue two programmes simultaneously.

The adoption of an open curriculum with transdisciplinary course patterns, including flexibility in electives, has led to the enhancement of skill development and community-oriented projects. This is what Prof. Satyanarayana, IIT – Tirupati, said in a press conference. According to him, this will play a crucial role in nation-building. Prof. Rajesh Viswanathan of the reputed Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Tirupati informed that their institution had made provisions for multiple-exit options in the BS-MS programme. This will add a holistic multidisciplinary approach to the education system, which earlier was rigid.

The framework designed by NEP 2020 will bring a revolutionary change in the entire higher education ecosystem of India, but it has a few  limitations , as studied by a few researchers. These are:

• As the policy aims to double the gross enrollment ratio by 2035, this requires the creation of a new university every week for the next 15 years, which is a huge challenge.
• To deliver the upgraded curriculum effectively, India needs a sizable pool of competent teachers who are familiar with the new pedagogical approach.
• Adequate funding and resources are required for proper implementation.
• As teachers generally share a disciplinary anchoring culture, it is difficult to have educators with exceptional skills who are experts in one area and lean in other subjects as well.

At this point, India’s education system is at a critical juncture, with the path not completely clear. The Indian education system must meet the needs of the progressive society with a population of over 1.4 billion. In the past years, India has surely made several changes in its academic structure; some challenges are yet to pass.

The new National Educational Policy offers a comprehensive strategy to enhance the quality of education and bridge the gap in socioeconomic disparities in Indian society. Its success calls for a robust collaboration between private and government entities. Therefore, if properly executed, NEP 2020 has the potential to shape India’s education system.
