The New Education Policy of India 2019 (the above link contains the full archive) which isn’t yet implemented in full shape, will promote active pedagogy that will concentrate on the development of core capacities and life skills, including 21st-century aptitudes. Prior these core capacities and life skills were not given that due importance and were dragged on in parallel with academics. There was a big and hard partition between “vocational” and “academic” streams, the later was considered to be the best for bright students and the later for academically weak students which will be diluted in the new education policy. Students will now get the opportunity of developing both kinds of capacities. The rapid change in the economic scenario worldwide makes it more important that our fundamental capacities have become even more important than some of the specific skills. Experiential and vocational learning will become a part of the formal curriculum. The policy envisions giving every student a top to bottom introduction to various livelihoods like agribusiness, electronics, craftsmanship etc. The main focus will be to give students the exposure towards various professions and furthermore to make them mindful of the ever-changing world of employment and the curricular decision accessible to them.
