National curriculum framework for school education great expectations: Arunabh Singh

EducationWorld March 2023 | Magazine
Arunabh Singh Director, Nehru World School, Ghaziabad A Delhi University and King’s College, London alum, Dr. Arunabh Singh is director of the CBSE and Cambridge-affiliated Nehru World School, ranked Ghaziabad’s #1 co-ed day school in the EW India School Rankings 2022-23. NEP 2020 has mandated “multidisciplinary” and “holistic education across the sciences, social sciences, arts, humanities, and sports for a multidisciplinary world”. I am looking forward to NCFSE 2023 providing guidelines for introduction of multidisciplinary and integrated learning in all schools across India. Most schools countrywide are still rooted in chalk-n-talk and rote memorisation. I expect the new curriculum framework to provide guidelines on how to break away from these outdated methods and enable children to switch to experiential learning pedagogies including project-based learning, field trips, and hands-on activities. NEP 2020 has strongly recommended introduction of new digital technologies into school education. I hope the NCFSE will advise all schools how to use technology in education to improve learning outcomes of children countrywide. India’s children need to be freed from academic overload. I am hopeful that NCFSE 2023 will provide guidelines to promote gender equality, social and emotional learning, tolerance and inclusion in all of India’s 1.5 million schools. NEP 2020 has strongly advocated inclusion of indigenous and traditional knowledge into school curriculums. I am looking forward to the framework prescribing how all schools can integrate our own knowledge systems and local histories into the curriculum. Facebook Twitter LinkedIn WhatsApp
