Govt Invites Suggestions On Draft National Curriculum Framework For Schools

New Delhi: As a follow-up of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which aims to transform the entire education system in India, development of four National Curriculum Frameworks (NCFs) — NCF for School Education, NCF for Early Childhood Care & Education, NCF for Teacher Education and NCF for Adult Education — has been initiated.

A National Steering Committee, under the Chairpersonship of Dr K Kasturirangan, has been set up by the Ministry of Education to undertake and guide the development of NCFs.

As part of participatory process of deliberations, inputs were sought for the NCFs in the area of ECCE, School Education, Teacher Education and Adult Education from different stakeholders including teachers, parents, students, educational institutions, neo and non-literates, subject experts, scholars, childcare personnel, etc.

Extensive public consultations in face-to-face as well as digital mode were carried out.

Over 500 district-level consultations and more than 50 consultations with different ministries, religious groups, civil society organisations, NGOs and universities were held in face-to-face mode with the participation of more than 8000 stakeholders.

In digital mode, mobile app survey received feedback from around 1,50,000 stakeholders.

The citizen-centric survey, launched by Ministry of Education in August 2022, received inputs from more than 12,00,000 stakeholders. Inputs are being received in all areas of ECCE, School Education, Teacher Education and Adult Education.

The inputs revealed endorsement of recommendations of NEP 2020 from all the regions.

Taking cognizance of these inputs, National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage was brought out and launched by Ministry of Education on October 20, 2022.

In continuation of this NCF-FS, National Curriculum Framework for School Education – Pre-Draft is also ready. Given the diverse needs of students, multiple pedagogic approaches, learning-teaching material at different stages of school education, the ministry feels it’s important to take feedback from students, parents, teachers, teacher educators, experts, scholars and professionals on the various sections and recommendations of this NCF-School Education (SE).

Feedback is solicited specifying the stage of school education, curricular area, school governance, assessment, etc.

Feedback may be sent to — ncf.ncert@ciet.nic.in
