Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the conclave on ‘School education in the 21st century’ within the framework of the National Education Policy 2020 through videoconferences.
The Ministry of Education is organizing this two-day conclave on September 10-11 as part of the ‘Shiksha Parv’. Prime Minister Modi also delivered the inaugural address at the conclave on ‘Transformational Reforms in Higher Education’ under NEP-2020 on August 7.
This is what Prime Minister Narendra Modi said:
The new curricular framework developed under the National Education Policy will reduce the school program and make learning a complete and fun experience for the students of the school. By 2022, our students will have the new curriculum, says PM Modi
- The grade sheet became a “pressure sheet” for students and a “prestige sheet” for families, the goal of NEP is to eliminate this pressure: PM.
- Teachers must develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills with each other. In the 21st century, students should inhibit these qualities, says PM Modi.
- During the conclave, Prime Minister Modi said that to embark on the journey from ‘learn to read’ to ‘read to learn’, we are taking steps to strengthen basic literacy. Our goal is to get a student in Class 3 to read 30-40 words per minute.
- Don’t limit classrooms to walls: PM Narendra Modi.
- Preschool is the first outdoor experience for children. We need teachers from the preschool level who are focused on fun learning, activity-based learning, and discovery-based learning – Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
- NEP 2020 establishes what is important to develop scientific and mathematical thinking among children, says Modi
- The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is the result of the relentless hard work of various stakeholders carried out over the past 4-5 years. Still, the work is not complete. It is only the beginning. The way to go is to ensure its effective implementation: Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
