Government releases pre-draft of National Curriculum Framework for schools

In News
  • The Ministry of Education released a pre-draft version of National Curriculum Framework for School Education recently.
About the Draft
  • The Education Ministry has designed four National Curriculum Frameworks (NCFs) based on the 5+3+3+4 'curricular and pedagogical' structure that NEP 2020 has recommended for school education.
  • The ministry launched the NCF for foundational stage (NCF-FS) for children between ages 3-8 years in October 2022.
  • In continuation of that policy, the next NCF for school education is being prepared.
  • Revamping class 10 and 12 board exams, aligning the shift from 10+2 structure to 5+3+3+4 structure and emphasis on developmental perspectives suggesting curricular and pedagogical shifts at different stages - foundational, preparatory, middle and secondary - are among the recommendations made in the pre-draft.
  • The new proposed revision will be the fifth of the framework.
  • The pre-draft has been prepared by a committee headed by K Kasturirangan, former ISRO Chief.
  • The NCF has been revised four times - in 1975, 1988, 2000 and 2005.
  • Focus on moral development -
  • annamaya kosha (physical layer),
  • pranamaya kosha (life force energy layer),
  • manomaya kosha (mind layer),
  • vijnanamaya kosha (intellectual layer) and
  • anandamaya kosha (inner self).
