Why the need to bring an education policy?
The first policy was made in 1986. That is what research was done on. Demands for a new policy arose in light of long-changed circumstances. The Curriculum Framework was also implemented in 2005.
Education policy is a comprehensive framework that determines the direction of education in the country. This policy sets the direction in a big way and the state governments are expected to follow it. However, it is not mandatory for them to do so.
This policy will be implemented by CBSE but will be decided at their level in the states. This change will take some time. This policy should be seen as the beginning of a process.
The School Curriculum (NCFSE) was overhauled as the National Curriculum Framework for School Education. It will be conducted by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). Books will be revised on the basis of NCFSE. NCERT has revised the school textbook twice since 2014.
What will be new in the world of education now?
Under the new education policy, Arts and Humanities subjects will also be taught in technical institutes. At the same time, emphasis will be laid on setting up a separate department for arts subjects like music and theater in every college in the country.
Every technical institute in the country including IITs will adopt a holistic approach. Emphasis will be on subjects like Arts and Humanities in technical institutes along with engineering.
There is also talk of holding a common entrance exam for admission in every institute across the country. The test will be conducted by the National Testing Agency. This would be optional though. It will not be compulsory for every student to sit for this exam.
Students will be able to take online courses in their local language. Apart from the eight major languages, online courses will also be launched in Kannada, Oriya and Bengali. Currently most of the online courses are available in Hindi and English.
The new education policy aims to spend 6 per cent of GDP on education. At present, the Center and the state together spend only 4.4 per cent of GDP on education.
