The questions are framed in such a manner that teachers can relate to them from their experience as teachers and classroom transactions,” an official statement said.

“Each question also gives reference to the paragraphs of NEP 2020 to which refers to, to enable the teacher to read the same for better understanding of the policy, before uploading suggestions,” the statement added.

Once the suggestions are submitted, the team of experts from the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) will review it.

“Though suggestions are being called in a limited words format, however, for gathering further information, if required, teachers whose suggestions are found useful for incorporating in National Curriculum Framework or in the implementation plan, shall be individually contacted,” an official statement said.

The entries submitted by the teachers may be used by the Ministry of Education in future…” CBSE said in a statement.
