National Curriculum Framework for School Education: Salient Features and Summary

Abstract

The National Council of Educational Research and Training has to advise and assist the Government of India in formulating and implementing policies and programmes in the field of education, particularly school education. To that end, it has been preparing, after the interval of roughly every decade, a national curriculum framework for school education and giving broad guidelines about how to address the major concerns and issues before the nation. The states have been, subsequently, adopting or adapting these curricular guidelines to develop their own detailed curricula, syllabi and curricular materials.
