NEW EDUCATION POLICY 2020
NEW EDUCATION POLICY 2020
Introduction :- A New Education Policy has been sanctioned by our government in July 2020; after a gap of 34 years, for bringing the changes in the National Education System. The New Education Policy has its objective of making the learning process more efficient by enhancing students thinking and creative ability. The New Education Policy includes several changes in the school level as well as higher education.
The Necessity of New Education Policy 2020 :-
The earlier system of education was basically focused on learning and giving results. The students were judged by the marks attained. This was a unidirectional approach to development. But the new education policy focuses on the relevance of a multi-disciplinary approach. It aims at all-round development of the student. New education policy visualizes the formation of a new curriculum and structure of education which will help the students at their different stages of learning. The change has to be done in the existing education system in order to make education reach up to all, ranging from urban to rural areas. It will be towards meeting sustainability by fulfilling Goal 4- Quality Education.
Motive :- The main motive is making a child learn along with becoming a skilled one, in whatever field they are interested. In this way, the learners are able to figure out their aim, and their capabilities. The learners are to be provided with integrated learning i.e. having the knowledge of every discipline. The same is applicable in higher education too. The new education policy also lays emphasis on the reformation of teacher’s education and training processes.
System Of New Education Policy :- This policy talks about reorganizing the existing 10 + 2 school system into a new system of 5 + 3 + 3 + 4, the basis of the curriculum and teaching of all children aged 3 to 18 years. At present, children between the ages of 3 to 6 are not included in the 10 + 2 structure, as 6-year-olds are admitted in class 1.
The current 10 + 2 system is to be replaced by a new 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 curriculum structure as per the age of 3-8, 8-11, 11-14 and 14-18 years respectively.
Foundation Stage :- Foundation Stage 5 is divided into two parts. For the first three years, children will take pre-schooling education in Anganwadi. After this, children will be studying in a school in classes 1 and 2 for the next two years. A new curriculum will be designed for these 5 years of studies. It will include children from 3 to 8 years old.
Initial Stage :- In the initial phase 3, children from classes 3 to 5 will be taught. During this time, children will be taught science, mathematics, art, etc. through experimentation. It will be taught to children between 8 and 11 years old.
Middle School Stage :- In this phase, children from classes 6 to 8 will be educated. These classes will be taught subject-based courses. Vocational courses will also be started from class 6, in which children will be taught a variety of skills. The child will be taught coding from class 6 itself. In addition, project-based learning will also start from class 6. Children of 11 to 14 years will be included in this phase.
Secondary Stage :- In this phase, students of classes 9 to 12 will study in two stages. In the first phase, there will be students of classes 9 and 10 and in the second phase, students of classes 11 and 12.Students will also be given the freedom to choose the subject. There will be some subjects which will be general for all and there will be some optional subjects like art, music, vocational subjects, etc, out of which students will be able to choose the subject according to their interest. This phase will cover 14 to 18-year-olds.
Advantages:
1. The new education policy focuses on the integrated development of the learners.
2. It replaces the 10+2 system with 5+3+3+4 structure, which states 12 years of schooling and 3 years of pre-schooling, thus kids with the experience of schooling at an earlier stage.
3. The policy envisages a multi-disciplinary and integrated approach to the under-graduate programmes with greater flexibility of exit from the course.
4. The students will have the freedom to select the course they desire to learn along with the course subjects, thus promoting skill development.
5. The NTA will conduct a common entrance exam for universities at a national level.
6. NEP allows for the development and learning of children by general interaction, group discussions, and reasoning.
Disadvantages:
1. The implementation of the language i.e. the teaching up to 5th grade to be continued in the regional languages is the utmost problem. The child will be taught in regional language and therefore will have less approach towards the English language, which is required after completing 5th grade.
2. Kids have been subject to structural learning, which might increase the burden on their small minds.
Conclusion :- Education is an essential and indispensable element for the all-round development of any society and country and a comprehensive national education policy is formulated by a nation to fulfill this requirement. The New National Education Policy, 2020, approved by the Government of India, is an important initiative in this direction.
