            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The vision of this policy</h3><p>The National Education Policy aims at building a global best education system rooted in Indian ethos and aligned with the principals enunciated above, thereby transforming India into a global knowledge superpower.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*YLHfH_9nIIBgR1dmx3AtzQ.jpeg" /></figure><h3>Highlights of the policy</h3><h4>School-level</h4><ol><li>10+2 Board structure is replaced by 5+3+3+4 design, consisting of the Foundational (3 years of pre-school + Grade 1–2), Preparatory (Grades 3–5), Middle (Grade 6–8), and High school (Grade 9–12 in two phases, i.e. 9 and 10 in the first and 11 and 12 in the second) stages respectively, with an option of exiting at Class 10 and re-entering in the next phase.</li><li>The Foundational Stage will consist of play/activity-based learning and the aforementioned curriculum and pedagogy of ECCE. It will also include a focus on good behavior, courtesy, ethics, personal and public hygiene/cleanliness, teamwork, and cooperation, etc.</li><li>The Preparatory Stage will transition gradually from play-based learning to more formal but interactive classroom learning, with the introduction of some (light) textbooks, to lay a solid groundwork across subjects, including reading, writing, speaking, physical education, art, languages, science, and mathematics.</li><li>The Middle Stage will see the introduction of subject teachers for learning/discussion of the more abstract concepts in each subject that students will be ready for at this stage, across the sciences, mathematics, arts, social sciences, and humanities.</li><li>The High School (or Secondary) Stage will comprise of four years of multidisciplinary study, building on the subject-oriented pedagogical and curricular style of the Middle Stage, but with greater depth, greater critical thinking, greater attention to life aspirations, and greater flexibility and student choice. The High School Stage may also allow exposure to more subjects and enable greater flexibility, and more frequent assessment of modules.</li><li>Students will be given increased flexibility and choice of subjects to study, particularly in secondary school — including subjects in physical education, the arts, and vocational crafts — so that they may be free to design their paths of study and life plans.</li><li>There will be no hard separation among ‘curricular’, ‘extra-curricular’, or ‘co-curricular’ areas, among ‘arts’, ‘humanities’, and ‘sciences’, or between ‘vocational’ or ‘academic’ streams. Subjects such as physical education, the arts, and vocational crafts, in addition to science, humanities, and mathematics, will be seriously incorporated throughout the school curriculum, with a consideration for what is interesting and safe at each age.</li></ol><h4>Universities and Colleges</h4><ol><li>The overall higher education sector will be integrated into one higher education system -including professional and vocational education. The present complex nomenclature of HEIs in the country as ‘deemed to be university’, ‘affiliating university’, ‘affiliating technical university’, ‘unitary university’ shall be replaced by ‘university’.</li><li>The undergraduate degree will be of either 3-or 4-year duration, with multiple exit options within this period, with appropriate certifications. The 4-year programme may also lead to a degree ‘with research’.</li><li>A student can obtain a diploma after completing a 1-year<strong> OR </strong>an advanced diploma in a discipline or field (including vocational and professional areas) after completing 2 years of study <strong>OR </strong>obtain a Bachelors’s degree after a 3-year programme. The 4- year Bachelor’s programme with a multi-disciplinary education.</li><li>All graduation courses will have major and minor i.e. science students can have physics as major and music as minor, any combination can be chosen by the students.</li><li>Model public universities for holistic education, at par with IITs, IIMs, etc., called MERUs (Multidisciplinary Education and Research Universities) will be set up and will aim to reach the global status of, e.g., the Ivy League Universities in the U.S. They will help set the highest standards for holistic education across India.</li></ol><h4>Adult Education</h4><ol><li>The abilities to attain foundational literacy, obtain an education, and pursue a livelihood must be viewed as fundamental rights of every citizen. Literacy and basic education open up whole new worlds of personal, civic, economic, and lifelong-learning opportunities for individuals that enable them to progress personally and professionally.</li><li>An outstanding adult education curriculum framework will be developed by a new and well-supported constituent body of the NCERT that is dedicated to adult education, to develop synergy with and build upon NCERT’s existing expertise in establishing outstanding curricula for literacy, numeracy, basic education, vocational skills, and beyond.</li><li>A suitable infrastructure will be ensured so that all interested adults will have access to adult education. A key initiative in this direction will be to use schools (after school hours and on weekends) and public library spaces for adult education courses, which will be ICT-equipped when possible.</li></ol><h4>Teacher education</h4><ol><li>A common guiding set of National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST) will be developed by 2022, by the National Council for Teacher Education in consultation with NCERT and coordinated by the NCERT, SCERTs, teachers from across levels and regions, expert organizations in teacher preparation and development, and higher educational institutions.</li><li>A national mission for monitoring shall be funded and established, with a larger pool of outstanding senior/retired faculty — particularly those with the ability to teach in indian language — who would be willing to provide short and long term monitoring/professional support to university/ college teachers.</li></ol><p><strong>In the decade of 2030–40, the entire policy will be in an operational mode, following which another comprehensive review will be undertaken.</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=f2d8e33426c3" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday sudden demise of Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput shaken me up, I couldn’t stop thinking about the 34-year-old actor who was always praised for his performances since his debut. He had done many successful films as a lead role and got praised for it. Besides all of his success, he couldn’t find his life worthy???? why?? how did he fall into depression which made him take such a drastic step? This incident made me think again &amp; again over the Indian society &amp; growing stress, anxiety &amp; depression in people’s minds. In the research on the subject I found that the mental health high in India compared to other countries both developed &amp; emerging, says a survey conducted by Cigna TTk health insurance. About <strong>89%</strong> of the population in India say they are suffering from stress compared to the global average of 86%. Nearly <strong>75%</strong> of respondents here do not feel comfortable talking to a medical professional about their stress and cite cost as one of the barriers.</p><figure><img alt="You will be OKAY" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*1K5C0vXmm0Wng7HTgxPWnQ.jpeg" /><figcaption>You will be OKAY</figcaption></figure><p>Depression is real, don’t ignore it.</p><p><strong>5 Real-Life Lessons About Stress, Depression</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Stop worse comparisons to others,</strong> <strong>Nobody is perfect: </strong>Comparison can cripple self-esteem, our passion &amp; purpose. when we compare ourselves (or anyone) with others we end up judging in a negative way. it creates jealousy, competition, rivalries, those are only made worse by the information taken out of the context. It is like apple to oranges,<strong> No one is the same &amp; that’s not a bad thing</strong> our society must learn that.</li><li><strong>Not to remain silent over wrongdoings:</strong> Sometimes remaining silent can be highly unethical. we should not remain silent when witnessing wrongdoings. we ought not to remain silent when facing injustice, violence &amp; abuse, I believe we should consider the well- being of those who will be impacted by our decision not to speak up.</li></ul><blockquote>As William Faulkner once said,” Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. if people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth.</blockquote><ul><li><strong>Listen to people carefully:</strong> Most people don’t listen with the intent to understand, they listen with the intent to reply. Ask yourself you are truly listening to others or if you are being distracted by your own chatter. Sometimes, listening means staying silent to give others a chance to talk, soaking in it, then perhaps responding if your response is needed. Sometimes people come up with an excuse that they don’t have enough time to sit &amp; talk with their family &amp; friends. For those “There is no such thing as ‘busy’. The next time you say you are busy, know that it’s an excuse. If you truly prioritize something, you will make time for it, be it relationships, friendships, or something else. you always have time for anything if you make time.</li><li><strong>Take mental health seriously:</strong> Mental health is common, it could be anyone. The trouble is nobody wants to talk about this and that makes everything worse. We need to normalize talking about our mental health struggles to allow everyone to get the help they need without embarrassment. It’s okay to feel unstable, it’s okay to disassociate, it’s okay to need help, it’s okay not to be okay, your mental health is not a personal failure. Everyone feels low at a point in their life, communicate when it feels uncomfortable or uneasy. One of the best ways to heal is simply to get everything out.</li><li><strong>Understand yourself &amp; Others too:</strong> When you know yourself, you understand what motivates you to resist bad habits &amp; develop good ones. you’ll have the insight to know which values &amp; goals activate your will power, tolerance, and understanding of others. Your awareness of your own foibles &amp; struggle can help you empathize with others. When it comes to understanding the other person, it does not mean you have to agree with their feelings or point of view. Instead, it means that you recognize their point of view, &amp; accept that it is different from yours. You may still have to do difficult things that others don’t agree with, but hopefully, both you &amp; they understand that.</li></ul><p>In the end, I would tell something I read somewhere “ Accept what it is, let go what was, &amp; have faith in what will be.” Give your stress wings &amp; let it fly away.👍</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=235481eb54fb" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
