Reading through the NEP published by the MHRD on Thursday gave a lot resonance with what many of us have been working on in our schools over the last few years. Remaining relevant, teacher training and development and professional standards that improve the quality of teaching and learning. The move away from rote learning and high stakes assessment towards more skills based, modular and continuous assessment. Learning how to learn, an end to promoting seniority over capacity and the development of an internationalization of pedagogy and outlook.
These very positive aims that will require considerable work and the sensitive recognition that much of the resistance to change will come from those who are key to implementing it.
I will be writing about many of these elements of the NEP in the weeks to come as the team at MR Ed Partners creates a programme of webinars and workshops to support schools in their evolution to meet the aspirations of the policy.
