NEP is not just a policy: PM Modi
Talking about NEP earlier, PM Narendra Modi said, “The NEP is not just a policy but is a compilation of aspirations of all 130 crore Indians. It took five years to discuss and debate each aspect and then the new education policy (NEP) was released. This policy, in the true sense, has all the aspirations of all the Indians.”

Structure of the new board exam
The class 10 and 12 exams — referred to as board exams — are likely to be held in two difficulty levels and students will be given a second chance at boards to improve their score. They will be free to take up courses regardless of the stream division of arts, commerce and science.
A system of annual or semester or modular board exams could be developed to test far less material, and taken immediately after the corresponding course is taught in school so the pressure from exams is better distributed and less intense.

I am committed to you for implementation of NEP: Modi
National Education Policy 2020 has given rise to a healthy debate and the more we discuss and debate the more it will benefit the education department. It is palpable that questions will arise on how this huge plan will be implemented. We all will together do this implementation. Each one of you is directly involved in implementation of the NEP. In terms of political will, I am totally committed and with you, says Modi.

New Education Policy is foundation of the new India: PM
The New Education Policy is the foundation of the New India, the India of 21st century. It will give your youth the education and skillset they need. The NEP has given special focus on the areas to ensure India is a superpower and is at the new heights of development and provide the people of India with new and best opportunities, says Modi.

We need to get out of the herd mentality, says PM
In the recent years, there have not been major changes in education and thus the values of curiosity and imagination were not given the thrust. Instead, we moved towards a herd community. The mapping of interest, ability, and demand was needed. We need to develop critical thinking and innovative thinking abilities in our youths. It will be possible if we have purpose, philosophy, and passion of education, says PM
11:20, 07 AUG 2020
PM on mother tongue as mode of teaching
We need to make our students into global citizens and yet be rooted in their culture. The learning power of students will improve if the language they speak in and the language in which lessons are taught in school is the same. That is why we have recommended teaching in the mother tongue as soon as possible - at least class 5. This will strengthen their foundation, says PM
11:22, 07 AUG 2020
NEP shifts focus from what to think to how to think: PM
Till now, we have focussed on what to think but NEP 2020 focuses on how to think. In the time when there is a flood of information and content. It is important that we know which information is necessary and which is not. We need inquiry-based, discovery-based, and analysis-based modes of teaching. This will increase the interest to learn and participate in class, says Modi.

NEP gives flexibility to chose, change and skill-up, says PM
Often students find that what they have learned is not in line with their job. Thus, to give flexibility to students we have given multiple entries and exit points. We have also freed education from the stream system. Students will have the flexibility to change their course if they do not think it is right for them. We are moving from thinking when a person is not glued to one profession for the entire lifetime and hence s/he needs to skill, re-skill and upskill. These issues are part of NEP, says PM.

When a teacher learns, a nation leads: PM
The NEP focuses on teacher training. I believe, when a teacher learns, the national leads, says PM Modi.
11:39, 07 AUG 2020
India needed to change with changing times: PM
With changing time, a new global system has risen. Thus, it was essential for India to change its education system accordingly. Creating a 5+3+3+4 curriculum, and replacing the 10+2 structure was a step in this direction, says PM
11:51, 07 AUG 2020
More autonomy to institutes which offer quality education: PM
India is split on the topic of autonomy. One school of thought says that the government should have the say in the education institutes while the other believes every institute should have freedom. The way to quality-education goes from between both these schools of thought. The institutes which will work more on quality education will be given more freedom as a reward. This will increase the quality and encourage higher education institutes to grow, says PM.
