National Education Policy–2020 And Classroom Transactions

National Education Policy – 2020 aims to provide quality education by 2030 not only for life changing but also mind crafting and character-building experiences along with a sound knowledge base. NEP-2020 also envisages to have an education system based on Bharatiya ethos for transforming India into a global knowledge super power.

Hence, there is a big shift in the way we educate. Now the concentration is more on Holistic Education (Samagra Siksha) along with all-round development (Sarvangeena Vikasa) of a student. The thrust is more on building competencies and specific learning outcomes with a reduced content. Now that teacher has to get enriched, empowered, upskilled, upgraded and updated to meet these challenges.

There is also a big shift in moulding students, which we have to plan every day and in every activity.

  • 1. From “Learning helplessness” to “learning optimism”.
  • 2. From “What to learn” to “how to learn”?

Sparking curiosity, nurturing creativity, instilling confidence and caring through hand-on experience.

1. Questioning, observing, experimenting, associating (connecting dots) and networking.

We have to plan behavioural shifts among the students to facilitate joyful, engageable and experiential learning.

  • 1. From yes to why?
  • 2. From looking to observing

From being passive to learning to explore

  • 1. From fear to confidence
  • 2. From acceptance to leadership
  • 3. From textbook-bound to being hands on

From self to social orientation

These are all indicative but a comprehensive discussion has to take place among the teachers in groups at the school level. Of-course we are free to add as per experience and suggestions from elders and mentors.
