Government of India announces National Credit Framework

After years of deliberation, the Government of India has finally announced its much-anticipated Credit Framework for Education, bringing Indian Education up to speed with the rest of the world. Every student enrolled in Grade 5 will have the chance to earn credit points all the way up to completing their PhD, creating an entirely new system by which students can measure their progress over the course of their academic career. as they now no longer have any bearing on these Credit Points.

This framework also significantly reduces the stress associated with high-stakes board exams.

This news is amazing and changes an age-old hurdle into an incredible opportunity;

At 21K School, we have long advocated for Skill Based Learning and Assessment, as opposed to over-reliance on marks scored, so to see this policy adopted by the government is a delight beyond compare! Such a policy shift has certainly been long overdue!

For instance, a student can be enrolled on various subjects from different boards and complete their schooling, making education more accessible and flexible. Imagine taking 3 brilliant courses from Cambridge and then expanding one’s learning with 2 exceptional topics from Edexcel!

This unique policy makes it easier for students to obtain the required qualifications and makes learning so much more enjoyable with all its possibilities. Furthermore, such an increase in choice allows individuals to unleash their academic potential in line with their interests, thus allowing them to optimise the purpose of education.

The Policy also mandates compliance to minimum notional learning hours from Grade 5 onwards and 21K School will make necessary changes to comply with the Policy.

Students at 21K School have been given an exciting opportunity with the new policy change. With four curriculums offered, students have the potential to put themselves in pole position for their future academic success. This shift presents students with a unique opportunity that may not be available again.

We look forward to the NCrF being implemented in Academic Year 2023 and are confident students will take full advantage of this prospect for their own growth and development.

Credit points earned can be used in place of percentiles gained in Boards

The National Credit Framework Policy provides students an exciting new opportunity to experience the best of different boards.

Most single-board schools will not be able to take advantage of this exciting new development.
