What is the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE)?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) is the curriculum framework for the 5+3+3+4 design of schooling as proposed by the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020).<\/span><\/p>\n

The framework ensures that it covers all stages of schooling. It sets clear learning standards and competencies, enabling teachers to foster critical thinking, creativity, and genuine understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n

The framework also empowers educators, encourages engaging pedagogies and emphasizes the importance of school culture and values.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: <\/b>It\u2019s important to note that the National Education Policy(NEP) 2020 and the NCFs, based on the education policy, <\/span>are not binding on the states<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key recommendations given in the framework?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Languages: <\/b>Students in Classes 9 and 10 will need to learn three languages, of which at least two will be native to India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 In Classes 11 and 12, students will learn two languages, including one of Indian origin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Currently, students in Classes 9 and 10 study two languages, and students in Class 11 and 12 study one language.<\/span><\/p>\n

Board Exams: <\/b>All students will be allowed to take Board exams on at least two occasions during any given school year, with only the best score being retained.<\/span><\/p>\n

No stream restrictions<\/b>: <\/span>For grades 11 and 12, the previously followed system of science, commerce and humanities streams has been eliminated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Instead, the NCF says that the students will be offered \u201cchoice-based courses\u201d that will enable flexibility and remove hard separations between disciplines and academic areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mandatory Subjects:<\/b> So far, the students from Classes 9 to 12 studied five mandatory subjects, with an option of adding one more subject. Now, the number of mandatory subjects for Classes 9 and 10 is seven and it\u2019s six for Classes 11 and 12.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semester system:<\/b> In the long term, all Boards should change to semester or term-based systems, where students can be tested in a subject as soon as they have completed the subject, which would reduce the content load being tested in any one examination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Classes 6 to 8: <\/b>NCF states that 20% content would be from the local level for the Social Science curriculum, 30% content would be from the regional level, 30% would be from the national level and 20% content would be global.<\/span><\/p>\n

Environmental Education <\/b>is given due emphasis across all stages of schooling, culminating in a separate area of study in the Secondary Stage.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
