New Delhi: To commemorate one year of the implementation of National Education Policy (NEP 2020), the Ministry of Education’s Department of School Education and Literacy launched a booklet on one-year achievements of the NEP implementation. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan launched the booklet virtually.
Some major NEP 2020 initiatives have also been launched besides the booklet.
The initiatives include:
- NIPUN Bharat FLN tools and resources on DIKSHA, a separate vertical for FLN resources developed under DIKSHA to assist and mentor states/UTs and teachers for implementing NIPUN Bharat
- Virtual School of NIOS for Classes IX-XII students for providing them advanced digital learning platforms through virtual live classrooms and virtual labs
- Alternate Academic Calendar 2021-22 of NCERT containing a week-wise plan of interesting and challenging activities, with reference to learning outcomes, themes and chapters taken from the syllabus or textbook.
“NEP is a philosophical document, not about data or numbers. Education is not about collecting degrees but to build character and national through building knowledge. That is our understanding of the Indian knowledge system,” the Education Minister was quoted as saying by NDTV.
“Several good policies over the past 75 years are hidden in the files without being implemented. But we are presenting a sort of report card for NEP — what we have done over the past one year,” the minister added.
