Orientation Workshop on NCF-SE 2023 at RIE Ajmer : 09 Sept to 13 Sept 2024

A five-day orientation workshop on the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023 (NCF-SE 2023) open today and organized at RIE Ajmer, with special focus on the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020). This workshop aimed to equip State Resource Groups (SRGs) from Northern states and Union Territories (UTs) with the necessary knowledge, skills, and strategies for the successful implementation of NCF-SE 2023.

The NCF-SE 2023 represents a significant shift in India's educational landscape, aligning school education with the broader objectives of NEP 2020. The NEP emphasizes Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which seeks to ensure inclusive, equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities by 2030. Achieving these ambitious goals requires a complete transformation of the education system, focusing not just on knowledge acquisition, but also on learning how to learn.

In light of this, the workshop is aiming to achieve several key objectives. These included orienting SRGs on the importance of NCF-SE 2023, enabling them to implement the framework effectively, empowering them to utilize it within their institutions, and preparing them to engage with various stakeholders. The workshop included a blend of theoretical sessions, group discussions, and hands-on activities. Expert-led sessions offered in-depth knowledge of NCF-SE 2023, while interactive workshops encouraged active participation. Real-life success stories were also shared to provide practical insights into implementation strategies.

Representing Uttarakhand, Programme Co-ordinator NEP Cell Mr. Manoj Bahuguna and Mr. Ravi Darshan Topal, Mr. Sohan Singh Negi Lecturer Department of curriculum, and Dr Sumit Pandey from DIET Nainitalboth faculty members of SCERT working in the NEP cell, contributed significantly to the discussions. Their participation in today's sessions highlighted the state's commitment to ensuring the successful rollout of NCF-SE 2023.

This orientation program marks a critical step in ensuring the transformation of school education across India, empowering SRGs to lead the way in providing students with a well-rounded, future-ready education.(10th September 2024,Manoj Bahuguna:)
