NEP 2020: Revised History Curriculum to be Followed from January 26; Know How it will Benefit Students

New History Curriculum From January 26, 2023: The new “updated” version of Indian history will be taught in all schools nationwide beginning on January 26, which is also Vasant Panchami, according to an announcement made on Tuesday by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The history curriculum will be added of the new National Education Policy (NEP). It was proposed by the government in 2020.

The minister made the statement while speaking at an event co-hosted by the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Itihas Sankalan Yojana and the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), saying that the new curriculum will support mother tongue teaching rather than an English-focused approach.

According to the National Education Policy, beginning on January 26 in honour of Vasant Panchami, students across the nation will be taught a correct version of Indian history.

In the NEP, mother tongue has been given preferential treatment. “It is pointless to impart education without prioritising mother tongue”, Pradhan stated during the ceremony.

The National Education Policy, which was unveiled in 2020, was hailed as a precedent development for the Indian educational system.

How Will Revised Curriculum Benefit Students

Here are some ways that the revisions made as a result of the new policy will benefit students in the years to come:

1. Vedas and Bhagavad Gita May be Covered Under NCERT Curriculum

Hindu texts including the Four S and Bhagavad Gita should be included in the National Education Policy’s new history curriculum. The committee also recommended that NCERT textbooks incorporate with equal emphasis the achievements of “unsung independence fighters” from all regions of the nation, especially the northeast.

2. No 10+2 framework

The National Education Policy (NEP) will replace the 10+2 framework in K12 education, replacing it with a four-stage learning system: foundation, preparatory, middle and secondary. This is the first time that the education policy has designed a curriculum at a foundational level.

3. Board Exams Will Encourage Student’s Capacity

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to encourage holistic development and test core capacities and competencies. Students will be allowed to take board exams on up to two occasions during any given school year, one main examination and one for improvement if desired.
