General Knowledge:  Why we need a higher Education in India for every people. 

As we know that Education is must important to everything  in this decade to observe things and make reliable decisions for own uses as well as for others people through this we contribute our efforts for public uses. Education give us thinking capacity to enhance our decisions making capability.  That's why we know that if any country have a good education system or Education environment then their upcoming children or students have a high IQ Level. That show the things capturing power brain activeness skills. 

That's why Education is a fundamental for achieving full human potential, it's means that without  Education no anyone can understand the  principle of Human Nature, his behaviour,  thinking power,  decisions capability and  major  part is that : promoting national development".

As all world knew that India is a such country that having the highest population of youngest people growth rate and it will increase rapidly in next coming  decades and india will become first highest population countrie after the China. So after seeing this condition by our Indian Government, they have decided to make new Education Policy which clearly focus to our upcoming new generation Student's, which determine the future of our Country and make new generation Scientists or Engineers. 

As the technology is changing frequently as per with the time, such as the rise of big data, Artificial  Intelligence, Machine Learning, many unskilled jobs may be undertaken over the by machines. .

 the Education level is also changing in the same manner,  which is also the needs of today's life. In this same  direction, the "Education World"  is undergoing rapid changes in the knowledge domain. Education thus, must  move towards less content, and more towards learning about how to think critical and solve the problems, and how to innovate, adapt, and absorb new technologies and varieties of fields. 

So that Education must be discovery oriented,  discussion based, integrated,  flexible, more creativeness,  easily to adaptable, and must more enjoyable. Well structure Education System must equitable access to the highest-quality Education for all students regardless of their Economic Situation and background. 


Fundamental principles of New Education Policy 2020 are:

• Flexibility 

• Supporting multilingualism 

• Extensive used of Technolog 

• Teacher and the faculty is the heart of the learning process 

• Respect for the Diversity and respect for the local context. 

• Continuously  review 

• Outstanding research 

• Life skills 

• Emphasis on conceptual Understanding 

• No hard separation 


Part 1. SCHOOL EDUCATION:


New Education Policy Study Model


Early Childhood Care And Education ( ECCE) { The Foundation Of Learning }:

 It is scientifically  prove that 85% of  children's cumulative brain has developed prior to the age of 6. During this critical  period needs to appropriate care in order to make healthy, growing and creative mind. But now,  ECCE is not able to reach crores of young children's mostly to those children's  who is suffering from socio-economically disadvantage background.

ECCE are responsible and consist flexible Education Environment such as : multi-faceted, play based, activity based, multi-level, and enquiry based Learning like: Consist of alphabets, languages, number, counting, colours, shapes,  indoor and outdoor play, puzzles and logical thinking, problem solving other visual Arts,  Crafts, Music and Movement. 

ECCE is also mainly focus on developing social capacities, good behaviour,  personal and public cleanliness, teamwork and cooperation. The main  goals or focus of ECCE is to got the best optimal outcomes in the different domains such as : Development of communication and literacy, culture and artistic development,  physical  and motor development,  cognitive development. 

NCRT will develope a  'National  Curriculum and Pedagogical' ( NCP ) Framework for 'Early Childhood Care and Education' (ECCE) that will know as (NCPFECCE), for children up to the age of 8 in two parts such as :

♧ Sub-Framework for 0-3 years.

♧ Sub-Framework for 3-8 years.

This framework will provide help as a guide for parents and ECCE Institues.

To Prepare a initial mode of well educated ECCE teachers in Anganwadi :  

Current Anganwadi teachers and workers will trained in a systematic way through  the Curricular/ Pedagogical  Framework developed by NCERT. And give them 6 months Certificate program in ECCE for 10+2 and above high qualified teacher and workers. And apart from this,  shall be give one year diploma program for lower education qualification workers and teachers. 


●  Foundational Literacy and Numeracy "Necessary prerequisite to Learning" :

The ability of learning and reading, and performing and  playing with numbers or equations is compulsory prerequisite  for all future schooling and entire lifelong learning. As in the recent survey's conducted by Government and Non - Government Agencies founded that there are such students yet remains probably  5 Crore  that haven't attended Foundational Literacy  and Numeracy such as : Read -write  and comprehend based text and basic  mathematic like adding and subtracting of Indian Numerals. 
Thus attending the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy  is a big national mission to be implemented in many fronts with clear goals.  This structure will setup by the MHRD (Ministry of Human Research Development), and all State/UT government will immediately prepare an plan for implementation and will achieve this by 2025. There will be main focus on reading, writing, speaking, counting, arithmetic and mathematical thinking. 

A inspirable books is also a major part to achieve Universal education system so it must be available in all local and Indian languages with higher quality translation and made available in both schools and public Library. To ensuring the availability,  accessibility, quality of books, and readership of  books, a  National Book promoting policy (NBPP) will be established. Sometimes students are not able to learn things easily due to suffering from undernourished and  unwell condition, so there must be addressing student's nutrition and health through providing healthy meals.






Part 3. Other key areas of focus. 

3.1 Professional Education: 

Professional education thus becomes an integral part of the overall higher education system. Stand-alone agricultural universities, legal universities, health science universities, technical universities, and stand-alone institutions in other fields, shall aim to become multidisciplinary institutions offering holistic and multidisciplinary education. All institutions offering either professional or general education will aim to organically evolve into institutions/clusters offering both seamlessly, and in an integrated manner by 2030. 

Legal education needs to be competitive globally, adopting best practices and embracing new technologies for wider access to and timely delivery of justice. At the same time, it must be informed and illuminated with Constitutional values of Justice - Social, Economic, and Political - and directed towards national reconstruction through instrumentation of democracy, rule of law, and human rights.


Technical education includes degree and diploma programmes in, engineering, technology, management, architecture, town planning, pharmacy, hotel management, catering technology etc., which are critical to India ’s overall development. There will not only be a greater demand for well-qualified manpower in these sectors, it will also require closer collaborations between industry and higher education institutions to drive innovation and research in these fields.


3.2  Adult Education and Lifelong Learning:

 Strong and innovative government initiatives for adult education - in particular, to facilitate community involvement and the smooth and beneficial integration of technology - will be affected as soon as possible to expedite this all-important aim of achieving 100% literacy. 

suitable infrastructure will be ensured so that all interested adults will have access to adult education and lifelong learning. A key initiative in this direction will be to use schools/ school complexes after school hours and on weekends and public library spaces for adult education courses which will be ICT-equipped when possible and for other community engagement and enrichment activities. The sharing of infrastructure for school, higher, adult, and vocational education, and for other community and volunteer activities, will be critical for ensuring efficient use of both physical and human resources as well as for creating synergy among these five types of education and beyond .

3.3 Promotion of Indian Languages, Arts, and Culture:

The promotion of Indian arts and culture is important not only for the nation but also for the individual. Cultural awareness and expression are among the major competencies considered important to develop in children, in order to provide them with a sense of identity, belonging, as well as an appreciation of other cultures and identities. It is through the development of a strong sense and knowledge of their own cultural history, arts, languages, and traditions that children can build a positive cultural identity and self-esteem. Thus, cultural awareness and expression are important contributors both to individual as well as societal well-being. 

The arts form a major medium for imparting culture. The arts - besides strengthening cultural identity, awareness, and uplifting societies - are well known to enhance cognitive and creative abilities in individuals and increase individual happiness. The happiness/well-being, cognitive development, and cultural identity of individuals are important reasons that Indian arts of all kinds must be offered to students at all levels of education, starting with early childhood care and education.

..


High-quality programmes and degrees in Translation and Interpretation, Art and Museum Administration, Archaeology, Artefact Conservation, Graphic Design, and Web Design within the higher education system will also be created. In order to preserve and promote its art and culture, develop high-quality materials in various Indian languages, conserve artefacts, develop highly qualified individuals to curate and run museums and heritage or tourist sites, thereby also vastly strengthening the tourism industry. 

Creating such programmes and degrees in higher education, across the arts, languages, and humanities, will also come with expanded high-quality opportunities for employment that can make effective use of these qualifications. There are already hundreds of Academies, museums, art galleries, and heritage sites in dire need of qualified individuals for their effective functioning. 


3.4  . Technology Use and Integration


India is a global leader in information and communication technology and in other cutting-edge domains, such as space. The Digital India Campaign is helping to transform the entire nation into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. While education will play a critical role in this transformation, technology itself will play an important role in the improvement of educational processes and outcomes; thus, the relationship between technology and education at all levels is bi-directional. 


An autonomous body, the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF), will be created to provide a platform for the free exchange of ideas on the use of technology to enhance learning, assessment, planning, administration, and so on, both for school and higher education. 


The NETF will have the following functions: 

a) provide independent evidence-based advice to Central and State Government agencies on technology-based interventions; 

 b) build intellectual and institutional capacities in educational technology; 

 c) envision strategic thrust areas in this domain; and 

 d) articulate new directions for research and innovation


  .A rich variety of educational software, for all the above purposes, will be developed and made available for students and teachers at all levels. All such software will be available in all major Indian languages and will be accessible to a wide range of users including students in remote areas and Divyang students


Universities will aim to offer Ph.D. and Masters programmes in core areas such as Machine Learning as well as multidisciplinary fields “AI + X” and professional areas like health care, agriculture, and law. They may also develop and disseminate courses in these areas via platforms, such as SWAYAM


3.5 Online and Digital Education: Ensuring Equitable Use of Technology

the benefits of online/digital education cannot be leveraged unless the digital divide is eliminated through concerted efforts, such as the Digital India campaign and the availability of affordable computing devices. It is important that the use of technology for online and digital education adequately addresses concerns of equity.

 Teachers require suitable training and development to be effective online educators. It cannot be assumed that a good teacher in a traditional classroom will automatically be a good teacher in an online classroom. Aside from changes required in pedagogy, online assessments also require a different approach. 

Given the emergence of digital technologies and the emerging importance of leveraging technology for teaching-learning at all levels from school to higher education, this Policy recommends the following key initiatives:


A). Pilot studies for online education.
B).Digital infrastructure.
C).Online teaching platform and tool 
D). Content creation, digital repository, and dissemination.
E). Addressing the digital divide.
F).Virtual Lab.
G). Online assessment and examinations.
