  • It sets the mechanisms for the development of a coherent and comprehensive NCF, fully leveraging the widespread consultations already under way
  • The process designed ensures the seamless integration imagined - vertically (across Stages) and horizontally (across subjects in the same Stage) in the NEP 2020 – to ensure holistic, integrated, and multi-disciplinary education
  • It enables the critical linkage between the curriculum of schools with the curriculum of Teacher Education as an integral part of the transformative reforms envisioned by the NEP 2020 in the overall Teacher Education sector, thus  enabling rigorous preparation, continuous professional development, and a positive working environment for all our teachers
  • It informs the creation of opportunities for life-long learning for all citizens in the country
  • Directly ‘useable by’ and ‘relatable to’ the most important stakeholders in education - teachers, students, parents, and communities across the country – to enable and empower, change and improve the reality of education practice
  • Anchored and informed by sound theory and cutting-edge research, yet using simple language with real-life illustrations from classrooms and schools in a variety of contexts
