National curriculum framework for school education great expectations: Nishi Misra

Nishi Misra Principal, Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya, Gwalior An alumna of Allahabad University with valuable teaching and admin experience in several top-ranked schools including Sherwood, Nainital and former headmistress of Vidya Devi Jindal School, Hisar, Nishi Misra is principal of the Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya, Gwalior, ranked India’s #1 girls boarding school in the EW India School Rankings 2022-23. NEP 2020 has strongly emphasised tapping and developing the creativity of children countrywide. I hope NCF will also change the teacher training curriculum to teach creativity and innovative thinking. All children have big dreams and ideas. The new curriculum should encourage children to dream big and leave school with one big idea to pursue. I hope the new curriculum will make a break with the past and equip children with the academic competence and emotional quotient to realise their full potential. Currently, Indian education has become too academics and career oriented. I expect NCFSE and NCF to encourage teachers to teach compassion and awakened citizenship to build a harmonious society. After reading the Kasturirangan Committee Report and NEP 2020, the new NCF will arouse the creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities of children countrywide. NEP 2020 has strongly advised all state governments to integrate digital literacy and technology into education. I hope the new NCF will take that forward and provide the benefits of new digital technologies to all children countrywide. Facebook Twitter LinkedIn WhatsApp
