The Ministry of Education (MoE) on August 24, 2023, notified the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023.
The following has been stated: -
•The purpose of this National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE, in short NCF) is to help bring about such changes by effecting corresponding positive transformations in India’s school curricula.
•In this NCF, ‘curriculum’ refers to the overall goals, plans, arrangements, and practices that shape the experiences of students in schools. Thus ‘curriculum’ does not just refer to the subject content of textbooks and other teaching-learning materials (TLMs) and their pedagogy, but also includes aspects such as school environment and culture.
•This NCF aims to provide each such interested reader a reasonable understanding of what education should be like in the vision of this NCF — and why — and what role they could play.
•The NEP 2020 called for the development of a new National Curriculum Framework (NCF) and new State Curriculum Frameworks (SCFs) as the bases for transforming school education in the country. This is in consonance with the empowerment of States in our federal structure, with education as a concurrent subject. This NCF would aim to help bring consonance and harmony across the curricula in the country.
The detailed notification is given in the document attached below.
