What are The Major Recommendations of The National Policy on Education 1986
The Indian government created the National Policy on Education (NPE) to encourage education among its citizens. The strategy encompasses both rural and urban India’s primary and secondary education through colleges. The administration of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi issued the first NPE in 1968, and Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi issued the second in 1986.
Exams should be used as part of a strong educational plan in order to increase education’s quality. The goal will be to reformat the examination system in order to provide a genuine and trustworthy method of evaluation and a potent tool for enhancing the teaching and learning process.
The following are the actions to be taken:
- A wider range of assessment methods, such as oral exams and group work evaluations, should be used.
- A reduction in the amount of subjectivity and chance.
- Reducing the importance of memorising.
- Continuous and thorough evaluation that spans the whole period of teaching and includes both academic and extracurricular components of education.
- Use of the assessment process effectively by educators, students, and parents.
- An improvement in the way the exam was administered.
- Don’t expect perfection in every topic from everyone.
- Improved performance reporting. Given computer-based registration, it is now relatively simple to include information on relative performance on the mark sheet in addition to the absolute mark for each topic.
- The implementation of parallel modifications to teaching materials and methods.
- gradual implementation of the semester system beginning in secondary school.
- The substitution of grades for grades.
- There should be less emphasis on external examination, and institutional-level evaluation must be streamlined.
