However, owing to the changing times and in order to make India self-sufficient, the new Policy has been proposed.

According to the new education policy 2020, following are some of the major changes that are being introduced for the same: The current 10+2 curriculum structure has been replaced with a 5+3+3+4 structure.Students have to sit for exams only in classes 3, 5 and 8, instead of the yearly examinations module.The mother tongue or local language is to be the medium of instruction for all schools upto to class 5 and is recommended until class 8.A holistic approach to teaching is being emphasized so that the prevalent rote learning can be made redundant.

Students get more flexibility to pursue an education that they are interested in instead of a rigid curriculum.The 4 year undergraduate program has been brought to the forefront.The MPhil program has been removed going forward.More funds to help make education accessible to the disadvantaged groups and areas.

The first three years are to be spent in Anganwadis and the next two, in pre-school education.

This is named as the foundational phase.The framework for this period is to be developed by the NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training), with importance on activity and discovery-based learning, languages, numbers, alphabets, logical thinking, etc.

These will help them become better citizens.
