New Education Policy

A well-defined planned and progressive education policy is a must for every country because education is the foundation of economic and social progress. Taking into account their respective traditions and culture, different countries adopt varied education systems.

How SJIS can transform theteaching-learning process:

Focus on core essentials

Mapping of the curriculum across grades and narrowing it to the respective core knowledge only. The focus will be on practical application-based learning.

This reduction will create space for teachers to add activities related to experiential learning, creative and critical thinking skills etc.

Stress on the importance of literacy and numeracy skills

Our school has reworked in these areas to bring about a transformation in the teaching strategies so that these foundational skills can be developed, strengthened, and achieved by Grade 3.

There will need to be more focus at an early age on reading, writing, and learning basic mathematical concepts. Introducing innovative teaching would be essential to achieve this.

Changes in classroom teaching with the New Education Policy

Moving away from rote learning and memorizing to score marks during exams to actual conceptual understanding. Our school has adopted the top-down approach of shifting from syllabus completion to defining learning goals, curate classroom instruction through innovative pedagogy, and link assessments to these goals.

Change in the assessment pattern

Examinations will run semester wise and two exams will be held annually. Board exams won’t be held in high regard like they have been for years.

Board exams will be made ‘easier’ as they will primarily test core capacities and competencies.

The progress card will now be designed to reflect the 360-degree assessment of a student.

The progress card will include self-assessment, peer assessment, and teacher assessment.

Vocational training and coding will start from Class 6

As mentioned in the New Education Policy one bag less day can be planned for the hands-on learning of the vocational subjects. But the challenge would be how many vocational subjects are chosen, infrastructural changes, and teacher availability.

Conclusion:

In India, the New Education The policy is visionary, practical, progressive, and very comprehensive. It has a wide range from early childhood to higher education, professional education to vocational education, teacher training to professional education.

It also refers to the time between a child's birth and when they attend kindergarten.  According to Alvarado, it is a significant period in a child's life, since it is when they first learn how to connect with others, such as classmates, instructors, and parents, and when they begin to establish hobbies that will last throughout their lives.
