State School Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar announced on 10th April that the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) in Maharashtra will be implemented from June next year. Also, engineering and medical education will be taught in Marathi in the future.
He said that this decision has been taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi so that education policy becomes important in the future.
After almost 34 years, the New Education Policy will be implemented in the country, and the new policy will be implemented in the state from the coming academic year.
Many major changes have been made in the education system through the new education policy. The format of school education in the country was till now 10+2. But the new policy does not mention that the class 10 or class 12 exams will be off the board. The 10+2 system of education will be replaced by a new system of 5+3+3+4.
According to the new pattern, the importance of the board exam will be reduced and the exam will be held in a semester pattern. Presently the board exam is held once a year. But henceforth the examination will be conducted twice a year as per the semester pattern. That is, education from class 9 to class 12 is divided into eight semesters. Kesarkar also mentioned that there is a thought of taking the entrance exam for college admission.
Kesarkar informed that instead of 10+2, now there will be a 5+3+3+4 pattern of education, up to class 5, education will be in the mother tongue, regional or home language, efforts will be made to make pre-primary education of international standard, vocational education will be included from class 6.
Students themselves along with fellow students and teachers will do the assessment, students will be given vocational skills after education, subjects will be allowed for graduation without distinction between arts and sciences, education will be equal in government and private schools and the curriculum of schools and teachers will also be changed, explained Kesarkar.
