The current scenario in education demands the knowledge of NEP. this webinar will enlighten the people about NEP and also to clarify the myths surrounding it. There are mixed reactions for the people that if NEP to be implemented or not. This webinar might bring in the significance o NEP and it's implementation. NEP aims at producing engaged, productive, and contributing citizens for building an equitable, inclusive, and plural society as envisaged by our Constitution.

“National Education Policy-2020 aspires to turn around the face of education in India. The significant highlight of NEP 2020 is the proposal to establish the Higher Education Commission of India (HECI), for entire higher education. However, it is essential to know the changing system of education. It helps you expose your child to all the advantages it offers and to prevent him from falling prey to its limitations.”

Here are the seven most alarming current problems in Indian Education that NEP aspires to resolve.

• 1. LACK OF REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IN PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION
• 2. HEAVY BAGS...EMPTY BRAINS
• 3. WASTAGE OF ADOLESCENT POTENTIAL ON ROTE LEARNING
• 4. THERE ARE JOBS...THERE ARE GRADUATES. THERE ARE NO JOBS FOR OUR GRADUATES
• 5. LACK OF LIFE SKILL TRAINING IN MAINSTREAM EDUCATION
• 6. ALARMING STUDENT SUICIDE RATE
• 7. FOREIGN HIGHER EDUCATION COSTLY...INDIAN HIGHER EDUCATION MEDIOCRE

The time between birth to the age of six is critical for a child's cognitive development. Unfortunately, the Indian education system suffers a lack of standardization in what a pre-school must deliver.

Remedial Measures from NEP-2020

• 1. Development of NCPFECCE (National Curricular and Pedagogical Framework for Early Childhood Care and Education) by NCERT. This serves as a guide for both the parents and ECCE institutions in both the public and private sectors. We shall thus have an Indian system of pre-school education.
• 2. A 'Preparatory Class' for students of age-5 before joining their Grade-1. This ensures the development of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities and early literacy and numeracy.
• 3. In order to strengthen the ECCE in socio-economically disadvantaged locations, the Anganwadi workers and teachers are trained through a systematic effort.
• 4. State governments shall take the responsibility of preparing cadres of professionally qualified educators for ECCE.

Most of the Indian schools teach five subjects from the very first standard: a text-book, a class-work, and a home-work note-book for each subject. Thus, a six-year-old is forced to carry a minimum of 15 books daily to the classes.

Don't even ask me what happened to the directives by the HRD ministry that less than 3kg weight burden should be given until class-5.

This excess weight results in musculoskeletal pain and a chance of spine injury.

What are our children achieving after taking such pains?

After five years of schooling (age 10-11) years, approximately 51% of students in India can read a grade-II level text (appropriate for 7-to-8-year-olds). Only 28% of grade-V students can do divisions.
