About NEP 2020

New Education Policy 2020 is on the lines of universalising education from pre-school to secondary level. It replaces a 34-year-old policy to become a more inclusive, holistic, comprehensive, and far-sighted policy to make India a knowledge hub by the end of this decade.

Under the new policy, the government aims to bridge social gaps in participation, access, and learning outcomes in school education with a target of 100 percent Gross Enrolment Ratio (GEER) or zero school drop outs by 2030.

Under NEP 2020, the conventional 10+2 school curricula structure is to be replaced by a 5+3+3+4 structure corresponding to ages 3-8, 8-11, 11-14, and 14-18 years respectively. This implies that a student must have 12 years of schooling preceded by 3 years of Anganwadi or pre-schooling experience.

To implement this change at grassroots levels, curriculum, content, and pedagogy restructuring must be done as per the NCF (National Curriculum Framework) and content revisited in textbooks.
