Indian Education Repository

The framework builds on the societal and pedagogical changes suggested in the NPE 1986–such as child-centred approach and focusing on Minimum Learning Levels (MLL) and defining Minimum Learning Outcome (LO)– to lay down the organisation of the curriculum based on different stages, plans to reform examination and evaluation, and finally, implementation strategies to develop professional support for curriculum development. It recommends language and games for pre-primary education, mother tongue, mathematics, EVS, work experience, art and physical education for the primary stage, and three languages, mathematics, science, social science, work experience, art and physical education for the upper primary level along with instructional strategies and time. The achievement of MLLs is an important goal in the framework, for which Comprehensive and Continous Evalauation (CCE), grades over marking, and states developing schemes and training for teachers for evaluation are the prime strategies. Also calls for retaining no-detention policy.
