The National Education Policy has been approved by Union Cabinet on Thursday
this week. Ministry of Human Resource has been changed to Ministry of
Education.
“The education policy has been changed after 34 years and this is a
historic moment,” said Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Prakash
Javedkar.
These
are 5 biggest changes by Government which will be helpful for students.
This whole exciting
world of IT will seep deep into villages and towns.
More Choices for Students
Under the new Education Policy, there will be no restriction on choosing a different stream.
One of the most
outdated rules was that if a student is into Arts, they cannot choose Mathematics.
Or if you are an
engineer, doing humanities is not possible.
Now, anyone can
choose anything. The credits, marks will be transferred as per a new standard,
benchmark.
Besides, a student
can leave after 1 year, or 2 or 3 years or complete their graduation. For every
year of completion, they get a diploma degree.
This converts to more
freedom, and more choices.
Real World Experience For Students
From class 6, students can learn a skill, trade, business vertical by doing actual work under them. Like, a student can work with an artist, an entrepreneur, may be an astronaut.
This will help young
students to gain actual, real-world and practical experience of this
world.
Football ~ English
Every sport will have the same marks and weightage, like that of say English or Geography or Mathematics.
It opens up a new
paradigm for those students, who know sports is their ultimate dream. And
what’s better than to get equal marks based on their talent.
