Expansion

The government has decided to reduce the burden of heavy bags from the shoulders of the little ones. In the upcoming 2023-24 academic session, students of class I and II will only have Maths and Language books in their school bags.

According to the recommendations of the National Education Policy, the assessment of students in the age group of three to eight years will not be done through traditional examinations. Pupils up to class II now also have the opportunity to study in their mother tongue. According to the official, experts from the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) have prepared the syllabus for classes I and II under the National Education Policy. The Ministry of Education will release the syllabus soon. Here, instead of rote learning, the child is assessed based on sports, video, music, storytelling, practical knowledge, etc.

chance to learn your language

The official said that the three to eight age group is where the child learns the most. Therefore, in the language subject, he gets the chance to study in his native language. States can study from the syllabus books prepared in NCERT or they will prepare the books themselves. With this, students will be able to know and learn their mother tongue in childhood itself.
