The proposal in the new National Education Policy to make board exams easy will not address the issue of rote learning because the education system will continue to be a slave of the evaluation system
Current Affairs : The proposition in the new National Education Policy (NEP) to make board tests simple won’t address the issue of repetition learning in light of the fact that the instruction framework will keep on being a captive of the assessment framework, as indicated by Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
Sisodia, who is likewise Delhi’s training clergyman, said the strategy neglects to address the need of improving the state funded instruction framework and spotlights on private schooling, and a portion of the changes sketched out are a piece of “unrealistic reasoning”.
“Our training framework has consistently been a captive of our assessment framework, and it will keep on being so. The arrangement to make board tests simple won’t address the underlying driver of the difficult which is the attention on repetition learning. The accentuation will at present be on year-end tests, the need is to get rid of the idea of assessing understudies toward the finish of the meeting, be it simple or troublesome,” Sisodia told PTI in a meeting.
“By saying that board tests will be simple, we are not moving towards center around information application. The approach neglects to address this issue. A portion of the changes proposed are acceptable as well and actually, we have just been dealing with them, however some of them are simply part of an unrealistic reasoning,” he included.
Attesting that the strategy, which has been reexamined after decades, doesn’t concentrate on government schools, Sisodia stated, “There is no notice at all about what should be possible or what will be done to improve the condition of government funded schools in the nation. Does that mean all activities will be effectively executed in non-public schools and universities and that is the main way out?”
“The approach says charitable support will be empowered. Practically all large chains of schools and significantly higher instructive foundations depend on an altruistic model in particular, which the Supreme Court has just alluded to as ‘educating shops’. So would we say we will support that as it were? For what reason did we need another strategy at that point,” he inquired.
The NEP endorsed by the Union Cabinet a month ago replaces the 34-year-old National Policy on Education surrounded in 1986 and is planned for making ready for groundbreaking changes in schools and advanced education frameworks to make India a worldwide information superpower.
