The Ministry of Education is planning to invite the opinion of the people regarding the development of a National Curriculum Framework (NCF) in the National Education Policy 2022 via an online public consultation survey, the ministry informed on Sunday.
The Union government announced the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 on 29 July, which recommended that the quality of the education system can be improved through the development of a National Curriculum Framework (NCF). «Given the diversity in the country, providing an opportunity to every stakeholder, who may or may not be a parent or a teacher or a student and willing to participate in the transformation of the education system in India, by sharing views on common concerns related to education, is the need of the hour.
