NEP reflects aspirations of youth
The country is in the throes of a digital revolution. Robotics, Sci-fi dreams, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence have given wings to the youth to dream big and to fly.
On the first anniversary of the launch of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Prime Minster Narendra Modi addressed the youth of the country on July 29. He congratulated all countrymen and students on the successful launch of NEP 2020 and lauded the efforts from all during the pandemic. He said it was a year of transformative reforms. He stated that the implementation of the NEP and the new initiatives taken had come at the right time. India would now move ahead to a glorious future with future reading being a big vision. The youth was ready for change and were adapting well to it. Teachers and students had taken well to the Diksha and Swayam learning platforms.
The country is in the throes of a digital revolution. Robotics, Sci-fi dreams, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence have given wings to the youth to dream big and to fly. NEP would shift focus from what to think to how to think. It would give students the education and skill sets they require. The new education policy reflected the aspirations of youth. It is capable of changing India’s future.
With the launch of CBSE Structured Assessment for Analyzing Learning (SAFAL), a competency based assessment for grades III, V and VIII to assess the progress of foundational skills and basic learning outcomes/ competencies among students by the CBSE, students would be far removed from stress. It would remove additional examination pressure on students.
He added that the new guidelines would help India move a step forward in health, education, infrastructure and in boosting Atma Nirbhar Bharat. Skill development related vocational courses would assume prominence. Learning through the mother tongue would impact higher education. The play school concept would reach all villages. Sign language was made a subject and would extend its arms to all Divyang students.
He concluded that there would be no rich poor divide in the future and education for all would be one of laughter and enjoyment. As Nishta 2.0 was launched today, it would facilitate training for all. The youth and citizens of the country were all fortunate to be part of such reformative changes.
I take great pride in sharing that Delhi Public School, Nacharam has been one of the first schools to have state of the art Robotics Lab, Atal Tinkering Lab and the Artificial Tinkering Lab. The school has been among the first schools to focus on vocational skills from class VI onwards. Students take part in the club activities and have involved themselves in many of the school projects within and outside the school.
