Some of the highlights of the policy include the use of school complexes for adult education courses after school hours, more focus on vocational studies, high-quality modules to teach sign language and more.
The policy also proposes a dedicated unit for digital and online learning which is aimed at building the digital infrastructure and digital content. It is aimed at preparing alternative modes of quality education in times such as the current pandemic, where traditional modes of education falter.
It is also looking to develop :
- Apps
- online courses
- Modules
- Satellite-based TV channels,
and more. “It is great to see the focus on online education and having the same quality aspiration for it.
The policy strongly focuses on making the education system experiential learning including hands-on learning, integrating sports education, story-telling-based pedagogy, among others. It also offers students the flexibility to pick subjects in physical education, art and crafts, vocational skills and others. “The push towards making all institutions multidisciplinary is an excellent step since today all aspects of business and society are complex and multi-disciplinary in nature.
“The new approach of skill-based learning from an early foundation level of academics will help learners identify skill sets much earlier thereby empowering students to be future-ready.”
