New Education

Policy 2020

The new education policy 2020 is India's

education policy . It was announced by the

Government of India on 29 July 2020. It

provides the first new change to the Indian

education system since the new education

policy released in 1986 .

The background

In the Directive Principles of Policy of the

Indian Constitution , it has been said that

mandatory and free education should be

made for children from 6 to 14 years. The

University Education Commission was

formed in 1948 under the chairmanship of

Dr. Radhakrishnan . Since then, the

formulation of the National Education

Policy also started. Based on the

recommendations of the Kothari

Commission (1964–1966), a proposal for

significant change was first passed in1968 during Indira Gandhi 's Prime

Ministership.

[3]

In August 1985, a document named

'Challenge of Education' was prepared in

which various sections of India

(intellectual, social, political, professional,

administrative etc.) gave their education

comments and in 1986 the Government of

India drafted the 'New Education Policy

1986' got ready. The most important

feature of this policy was that it accepted

a uniform educational structure for the

entire country and most states adoptedthe 10 + 2 + 3 structure. It was released

under the Prime Ministership of Rajiv

Gandhi .

[4]

This policy was amended in 1992. The

Bharatiya Janata Party 's election

manifesto in the 2014 general election

included the topic of formulating a new

education policy. In 2019, the Ministry of

Human Resource Development started

seeking public advice for a new education

policy.

leading Change

In this new policy, it has been decided to

rename the Ministry of Human Resources

as "Ministry of Education". It has a

provision to set up the Higher Education

Commission of India as a single body for

all higher education ( except legal and

medical education) .

[5] Music , sports ,

yoga etc. will be added to the main course

instead of the auxiliary course or

additional course. The education system

aims to spend a total of 6 percent of GDP,

which is currently 4.43%.

[6] Am7 Fill will be

abolished. Now post-graduate one yearafter the bachelor's degree three years for

the research Ph.D. Can be entered.

[1]

Special emphasis has been laid on the

training of teachers in the policy . For

comprehensive reform, it has been

recommended to include teacher training

and all education programs at the level of

universities or colleges. Attempts will also

be made to prevent arbitrary fees and

increases in private schools. Earlier

subjects were selected according to

'group'

, but now they have also been

changed. Students who are doing engineering can also study music along

with their subject. The National Research

Foundation will be brought on the lines of

the National Science Foundation , which

will include science as well as social

science in the curriculum . Mathematics

and language in first and second grade in

policyAnd emphasis has been laid on the

writing of children of fourth and fifth

grade.

[7]

In schools, 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 formats will be

replaced instead of 10 +2 formats. The

first five years will include three years ofpre-primary school and foundation stage

including class one and class two.

Whereas government school used to start

from class one, now class one will start

after three years of pre-primary. This is

followed by three years of classes 3-5.

After this, the middle stage of 3 years will

come i.e. class 6 to 8. The fourth stage

(classes 9 to 12) will be 4 years old.

Previously, where there was freedom to

choose subjects from 11th standard, the

same will now be from 9th grade.Mother tongue will be used as a medium

of instruction from first to fifth . It has also

tried to end Ratta Vidya which is

considered to be a major flaw in the

existing system.

[9] For some reason,

students leave the course in the middle of

higher education. After doing this, they get

nothing and they have to start afresh for a

degree. The new policy provides for a

certificate on leaving the course in the first

year, a diploma on leaving the second year,

and a degree on leaving the last year.
