 Hi friends, so we go for February month 2022 Yojana title new education policy. The article is Nipun Bharath Mission. I order this idea as first we need to understand the background of it that is foundation learning forms the cornerstone of successful academic development and its gateway of learning. So any long term benefits in foundation learning will be a better life outcome and higher economic growth. So what this primary focus of this mission is that is in paragraph one that is foundation learning. So foundation learning is regarding school educations especially in the age group of 328 until grade 3 so until grade 3. So what are the education a kid is learning that is called foundation learning and it is have a very good positive impact of foundation learning is very effective that resulting in better life outcomes what is better life outcome means it can be career opportunities and thinking about career paths all are better and also overall development of an individual is very very good in that aspect if a person has very good foundation. The next thing is higher economic growth for society point of view the advantage is higher economic growth because that individual once have a very good education until the grade 3 ultimately that is going to transform into better education for the individual contributing to the economy. So either through means of job or through entrepreneurship so they have a greater contributions. So that is the importance of this foundation learning why that need to be focused. Our next thing paragraph two so it is said that some factual numbers are given which can be used for our answer writing so they have given Anganwadis so Anganwadis that is around 14 lakh Anganwadis are there in India so in that around 3 crore children's so 3 crore children's in the age group of 3 to 6 are there in Anganwadis and that is UDISC 2019-20 that is unified district information system for education unified district information system for education as per that year of 2019 and 20 says that there are 15 lakh schools 15 lakh schools in which 25 crore children's are studying so these are some factual and statements which you can use it for answer writing regarding importance of education and all these things you can relate here and anything is universalization of elementary education gross enrollment ratio so in elementary education in elementary education gross enrollment ratio so right now in primary level in primary level is around one or two so one or two percentage and so don't get confused with this what is one or two percentage means so so gross enrollment ratio already we saw that in that age group of kids how many are in schools that is called gross enrollment ratio and especially the primary level in India one or two percentage what is one or two percent percent is always 100 what is one or two means the people who already missed the opportunities are being also integrated into that thing so even their age is bad they are also got integrated so that is the reason we have this one or two percentage so that is grade one to three so primary education is nothing but grade one to three so these are some factual statements which you can use it for your answer writing which says that in India 25 crores children's are in schools and we have 14 lakh Anganwadi's 3 crore children's are associated with that that is from the age group of 3 to 6 so these are some of the factual information we can write why education is important from Indian sense of Indian sense okay and next we go for paragraph one two three six and seven so in paragraph one so national achievement survey this you can use it for your answer writing national achievement survey conducted in the year of 2017 they found out that 18 percentage and 13 percentage children's in language and numeracy in class three or below basic level and 15 and 18 percentage children in language and numeracy in class five or below basic level only 47 and 53 percentage children's in class three and 47 44 percentage in class four achieve proficiency in language and numeracy so this last facts can be used for your answer writing that is like a table column class three so class five so when you go for so 47 percentage and 53 percentage and 47 percentage and 44 percentage so that is for language and numeracy so what we need to understand is in 2017 when the survey was done in class three out of 100 students 47 students are good in languages and 53 students are good in numbers whereas in class five 47 is good in language 44 is good in numbers this clearly shows that around 50 percentage of students on an average are bad in both languages and numbers and we already saw that class three acts as a foundation for future education ultimately that results in dropout rates are very high in next level of educations so this is the finding which you can use it for your answer writing national achievement survey 2017 so you can use it as a table column you can draw or you can put like some graph like this so for example language and numeracy so numbers this can be percentage so percentage and you can say about so class three and you can draw something and say that so 47 percentage and 53 percentage for language and numeracy like this you can go for the other graph also so it depends upon your way of representing the point okay that's paragraph one it's a factual information which use it for your answer writing so paragraph two so another most important thing is they are focusing on this curriculum that is structure of pedagogy five three three plus four what it says is foundation so five is first five years is foundational and next thing is preparatory so preparatory and next thing is middle and secondary so so 12th standard from class lkg 12th is being divided in such a way that first five years is considered to be foundational one and next thing is preparatory and next three years are considered to be preparatory that is making students ready for real education and middle and secondary so these are the structures right now what new education policy proposes already we saw in the previous policies we have 10 plus two and what government failed under 10 plus two was 10 plus two majorly focusing on only two years of education that is 10th standard and 12th standard and vast students are more interested in by hearting things and getting marks rather than understanding the importance of education to set right that thing we have this five plus three plus three plus four model so that is given in paragraph two and paragraph three so paragraph three speaks about the importance of foundational learning so foundational learning so foundational learning is grade three so in the level of grade three where they have the ability so ability to read so ability to read and mathematical operations they are good in mathematical operations this we can relate with this paragraph one so that is our objective of our system and a new education policy to strengthen this foundational dimensions okay next thing is paragraph four so right now department of so department of school education and literacy to address all these previous problems what we saw so department of school education and literacy has launched this nipun barath the title of this article it says national initiative for proficiency in reading with understanding and numeracy so expansionist national initiative for proficiency proficiency in reading with understanding this we need to understand so what they're saying is you should be proficient in reading as a student at the grade three they should be good in reading reading should be with understanding not by hearting and numeracy numeracy is good in numbers so for that one nipun barath mission was created so nipun barath mission was created and making sure that that's the universal acquisition so once you have a successful this mission what is the outcome is universal acquisition acquisition of foundation literacy and numeracy so nipun barath mission's primary objective is to achieve this foundation literacy and numeracy among our school kids okay and next thing is paragraph five so it is being established at five five stages five tire system so fire tire implementation is done for this nipun barath what is fire tire is starting with nation state district block and school level so they have given a clear structure of implementing nipun barath right from national level to school level they created five structures and it's entirely based on activity so activity based learning so students especially at until the grade three they do activities to learn the things example if they want to learn numbers what is activity based learning is nothing but if they want to know what is four means they'll have four apples so they can easily understand what four stands for so it's more about touch feel understanding of education that is activity based education and next thing is use of colors colors shapes so indoor outdoor place play based learning puzzles logical thinking logical thinking so logical thinking problem solving so all these are being designed for this nipun barath mission painting arts painting arts so these are the various ways in which education is promoted especially at the foundation level that is until grade three these are the various mechanisms on which kids are being educated especially in language and numbers and paragraph six and it's a primary objective is making learning holistic holistic what does holistic means not only through books through experiences through visual through play our next thing is inclusive enjoyable so education should be more about experiential one rather than rote learning and engaging so engaging so this is the primary objective of nipun barath all the paragraph five and six our next thing is so what are the other importance of nipun barath is focusing on developing in especially kids physical and motor development physical and motor development what is physical and developed motor development means the ability of kid to physically reactive motor development is and i coordination all this can be developed all this unit relate with grade three until grade three where child can develop very fast and motor development is going to primary focus under this initiative apart from the social emotional development social emotional development social emotional development numeracy development so developing numbers our next thing is cognitive so ability to understand the things and relating things cognitive development and next thing is moral development so these are the various aspect of this objective of nipun barath mission so ultimately the primary focus is if you want to put in one term overall personality development of the kid so they are very good in every aspects of the life right from reading numbers sports activity creativity innovation all will be part of this education mission that is nipun barath mission so that is given in paragraph seven next thing is paragraph one two three four five and six so next thing is competency based learning so competency based learning for education so the primary focus of this education systems nipun barath mission is there are certain outcomes so at the end of the mission the outcomes are being measured on the kids how well they are performing certain activities how well they are doing certain tasks that's nothing but competency based education so it's not about providing literally education we are also evaluating the kids how competent they are how good they are in numbers how good they are in language proficiency that is the primary objective that's called competency based education that is given in paragraph one so paragraph two is so they are majorly focusing on learning outcomes so they majorly focusing on learning outcomes so learning outcomes it's not only inputs so this policy is not only focusing on inputs just giving books and creating a school for kids they are also evaluating how effective is that education is that's learning outcomes which is measurable switch is measurable okay and so that is the primary focus of this and the next thing is paragraph three so they are also creating this so laxia suchi or targets so under this foundational literacy and numeracy as the kids are learning the language numbers through various mechanisms there is a frequent review how they are being doing so they are given some targets so they it clearly identifies the students overall development and which are the students being lacking and how to promote that students again through various mechanisms so that's a major aspect of this one and next thing is paragraph four so so right now under new education policy 2020 especially and until grade one until grade one that is activity based learning activities bird activities bird activity based learning is promoted for that ncrt has developed ncrt has developed so a module that is vidya pravesh so especially for until grade one activity based learning ncrt has developed this with vidya pravesh so a part of nithu nipun barath mission so all these are being developed a school preparation module which is being done next thing is so this ensures that students are smoothly transferring from foundation to the next level so so that is the objective of this and so what are the primary aspect of this nipun barath is as per paragraph six critical thinking after finishing of this nipun barath mission by the school especially at the lower level of the school education yet kid will have critical thinking scientific temper so critical thinking is nothing but not understanding the information at is as it is given so they'll go on thinking in 360 degree dimensions why it happens how it happens why all this happens so that's called critical thinking scientific temper always approaching the issues from scientific point of view so that is called scientific temper and activity based learning activity based learning activity based learning okay so so the primary objective of nipun barath mission is to create all these things among school kids the next thing is paragraph one paragraph two three and four and in paragraph one it's under nipun barath initiative we have school-based assessment so it's not only assessing individual kids under school-based assessment there's a entire classrooms are being assessed classroom transactions experience is being assessed so it's a holistic assessment is being done holistic one so not only individual students entire schools being assessed under this particular mission which gives a collective responsibility the next thing is paragraph two and this helps in decentralized manner so documentation's okay documentation for school assessments what are the advantages school assessment is this promotes promotes decentralization promotes decentralization and also day-to-day observation so day-to-day observation so day-to-day observations and documentation so documentation and also nutritional status nutritional status and and classroom behaviors, so all these are being integrated under the school based assessment. So it makes me very holistic from individual point of view and a system point of view. And so Nipun Bharat is more about people's involvement or stakeholders involvement. People is a common term, we call it as stakeholders. So there should be active stakeholders involvement in this particular program to make it more successful that is given in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4, they say the role of importance of family and community. So family and community, these numbers are given here, family and communities, correct? So where child learns a lot in family and community, so they say 80 percentage of time in a child's life 80 percentage of time they spend in homes. So ultimately it's not only the school need to play an active role in education, family and the home need to play an active role in the education, okay? That is the things given in this last paragraph. Next we go for teach them in, next article. So paragraph 1, so paragraph 1 says under new education policy 2020, they say that 85 percentage of child's cumulative brain development, so brain development occurs before age of 6. So what is the statement we need to understand is when a child is born, so they have all their organs in place, brain is the only organ which is very small, then in the child's first 6 years the brain growth is very high when compared to the other organ's growth. So ultimately you can see that brain began to develop very fast neural networks began to form during this until age of 6. There is a point where as an education system need to create avenues for the kid to develop lot of neural networks. So neural networks are nothing but nerve combinations. So if a kid under the school system is able to get all this different nerve combinations, how that can be achieved through experimental learning process, interaction, playing. So this neural networks will form very fast and that will be greater development. There is a fact given here, 85 percentage of child's cumulative brain development happens before the age of 6. So that is the most important fact we need to understand, paragraph 2 and paragraph 3. So paragraph 2 says, so child's brain, so child's brain is nothing but until the age of 6, considered to be plastic, so rapidly growing and prepare for future. What is plastic is nothing but very elastic. So they are able to learn all different things very fast, very quick. So that is the reason why it is called plastic. Rapidly growing it is growing very fast. The brain's development and compared to other organ's development is very fast. And also this is the years where the kid is ready for the future. So that is given here. That is what given and great number of experiences more neuron creates neural pathways for optimal learning and development. Until the age of 6, if a kid is exposed to various experience in the life, ultimately that going to help their future life because a lot of neural networks forms and their brains are very active. In paragraph 3, so noble laureate James Hackman. So this you can use it for introduction or any substantiating points. So investing in early childhood education produce the greatest returns in terms of human capital and ensuring quality economic returns far greater than investing in schooling. So what the noble laureate says is. So noble laureate James Hackman says. So investing in early childhood education. Early childhood education is nothing but what he says about until grade 3. So early childhood education. So early childhood education is more important rather than investing in schoolings. So early childhood education that's nothing but we see this program called early child care and education. So that is the point what he says when you investing lot in that area. More productive and outcome when compared with focusing on primary education or secondary education or higher education. So what he's insisting is in a society a government should be more focused on early child education that is until grade 3. That has a very positive outcome in the society. Next thing is paragraph 1, 2. So in paragraph 1. So again they are speaking about this Anganwadi. So what are the background of Anganwadi? So Anganwadi comes under the Ministry of Women and Child Development. And they are created under Integrated Child Development Scheme, 1975. And they are responsible for nutrition, health, health to preschool. So this is where new education policy promoting Anganwadi is focusing on preschool, non-formal education. Non-formal education. So that's a background of Anganwadi given in there. And in paragraph 2. So it is said that of nearly 25 million children born in India every year, about 99 percentage enrolled in the school at the age of 5 or 6. So they say that this is another factual information. So 25 million children. So 25 million means that is nothing but 1 million is 10 lakh. So we can see that 25 million means what the number is. So 25 million children born in India every year. So 99 percentage enrolled in the school by the age of 6. So age of 6. Yes sir. So annual status of education report, annual status of education report 2019 says that. So they are not school ready. So in this enrollment they are not school ready, school ready. And how they are saying is around 10 percentage, 10 percentage at the age of 5. So age of 5 could match the pictures with the sounds. So what we understand is if a kid is in age of 5, what ASR report says is out of 100 kids only 10 kids can match the picture with the sound. For example, you give a dog picture and create a sound of the dog and ask them to place on the sound. Only 10 kids can correctly do that what the dog's sound and the picture they can match it very easily. This clearly shows that lack of brain development in the kids. So that is the point that is neural networks are not properly formed. Another factual information they say is 17 percentage. So could pictorial patterns. What is pictorial patterns means? Assume that you draw a cow, cut it into different pieces and ask the kids to join it. Out of 100 kids only 17 kids can do it. So this clearly shows that again brain development is very slow in that particular kids. That is all given in paragraph 2 which you can use it for your answer writing. So why national education policy is important, why early childhood is important. So in paragraph 3 this we already saw that. So early childcare and education and foundation literacy and numeracy. So through Nipun Bharat. So why this Nipun Bharat mission is important. All the previous paragraphs clearly indicates it. Why that need to be promoted. That is given in paragraph 3. Next thing is paragraph 1, 2. So in paragraph 1 they say that this initiative should be a people movement. So like, so new education policy on this Nipun Bharat should be a people movement. Similar to this polar eradication of Swach Bharat. So to make it more successful that is what the author says. And paragraph 2. So where in 1950s Robert Havigat in his book Human Development Education spoke about teachable movements. So there is another term which you can use it for your answer writing. So teachable movements is nothing but whenever there is a right opportunity you can teach the kids. And the kids can learn from them. It is not only through schools, through activities, through experiences that is what this says. That is called teachable movement. That is what right now integrated into our early child, early child current education. So that is teachable movement. Next paragraph 1, 2, 3 and 4. So in paragraph 1 again say 2021. That is annual status of education report 2021 says that after this pandemic. So it is found out that there is a greater penetration of smartphones. Smartphone penetration is very high especially for education purpose in India. So what we can understand is for this new education policy the modern technologies can be leveraged. It can be effectively used for that. So that is nothing but change in parental mindset of smartphone for learning. So previously pre-pandemic situation phones are considered to be diversion for kids. But parental mindset has changed after this pandemic situation. Right now it is used as a tool for learning process. So that is what it being said. So 1 in 28 households in India has brought the mobile phones. 1 in 28 households purchased smartphones. So that is what the point says and paragraph 2. And also new education policy focus on multilingual and the power of language. So new education policy never focus only English as a medium for education. Even local languages can be effectively used. So especially at lower level mother tongue is used for teaching kids. And the reason for that thing is they are able to understand the concepts very easily. So power of languages that is local language easy to understand the concept. The great way of understanding this point is if we take most of the achievers in India especially in scientific platforms. If we go and check their background all are educated in the vocational education vernacular languages. So starting from Abdul Kalam and all started their initial years in vernacular languages. The reason is they are able to understand the concepts very effectively. So that is what being said in this paragraph 2 and paragraph 3. So importance of learning language. So why language need to be learned. So they say that by the age of 2 to 8 any kid in the age of 2 to 8. So they are able to get ability to learn a lot of new languages. So they can learn a lot of new languages by the age of 2 to 8. This helps in cognitive abilities. So whenever they learn a new languages. Cognitive ability increases that is cognitive skills. The ability to make decisions increase very fast because learning new languages gives new terms. Understanding concepts will be very different. That is the biggest benefit. So under new education policy they are promoting this learning new languages. And also they are going to focus on creating special education zone. So these are the news articles. These are the articles of Yojana which seems to be more important for our preparations. So we will see a question. So this is the last year question are GIS. So the question's primary focus is regarding population education. And what are the measures to achieve them in India in detail. So first we need to understand what is population education means. So this is an idea. As per UNESCO's definition population education is how in education programs. They are able to understand the population and its impact in family. Society and global at large. So that's called population education. So the objective of population education if you want to put in simple terms. What are the benefits of nuclear families. That if you are able to understand that's the objective of population education. So why that need to be promoted. And what are the measures to achieve them in India in detail. So how India is focusing on its population education. So how Indian system is trying to make our kids understand this population education. Here you can take this things what we discussed right now and a new education policy. And a new education policy you can see that policies designed in such a way that interaction of the local communities must. So as a kid they are able to understand the local communities issues and problems. Which helps them to understand how population education is must. What should be the size of the family. How many kids need to be there. And what are the benefits of understanding sex education. So all this being understood when they interact with the society a lot. And this new education policy can be one point you can write in your answers. How this new education policy prepares our students. To understand the societal problems. And one such thing is population education. So that you can write it here. And apart from this you can also relate with this special education zones. Because special education zones we can see that one of the biggest problem why there is no proper development. Is because of over populations one reason. Which is able to address the issues of this population education. So that initiative can also be written here as a point. So there are two points you can write based on this article new education policy. One is integrating society with education system. So a kid can understand what are the problems of the society. And special education zone is one of the reason why it got the status of special education zone. Is because of over population lack of development. So ultimately they can understand so importance of population education. Thank you.
