      National Education Policy (NEP) 2016:

      • The draft of New Education Policy 2016 focused on addressing gender discrimination, the creation of educational tribunals, and a common curriculum for science, mathematics and English. 
      • Revision of no-detention policy, promotion of Sanskrit, and bringing back Class 10 board examinations are some of the key changes that the policy talks about. 
      • Pre-school education has not received the necessary attention in the past as Government schools do not provide pre-primary education, according to the draft National Education Policy. Pre-school education for children in the age group of 4 to 5 years will be implemented.
      • Curricular reforms will be carried out to meet the emerging aspirations and align to national goals of social cohesion, religious amity and national integration. 
      • Norms for learning outcomes will be developed and applied uniformly to both private and government schools. 
      • Each State will undertake a detailed exercise of school mapping to identify schools with low enrolment and inadequate infrastructure. 
      • Skill development programmes in school and higher education system will be reoriented. 
      • A concerted effort will be made to make ICT an integral part of education across all levels and domains of learning.
      • The framework of school standards with various parameters and indicators to measure school quality, professional competence of teachers, school leadership and the school management, as well as, self-appraisal and performance assessment will be used throughout the country. 
      • An independent mechanism for administering the National Higher Education Fellowship Programme will be put in place.
      • An expert committee will be constituted to study the systems of accreditation in place internationally. It will draw from the experiences of some of the best practices followed by countries having well performing systems and will suggest restructuring of NAAC and NAB as well as redefining methodologies, parameters and criteria. 
      • A task force of experts will be set up to study the recruitment, promotion and retention procedures, followed by internationally renowned universities and institutions and suggest measures to promote intellectual and academic excellence in HEIs. 
      • A clear reorientation of research agenda of National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA) will be undertaken to reflect actual issues on the ground.

      Finally, the government will take steps for reaching the long pending goal of raising the investment in education sector to at least 6% of GDP as a priority.
