Education policy is key for any nation as it decides the proforma of studies of the students. Coming to India, we have been following the same policy for the last three and a half decades. Now the Ministry of education has approved a new National Education Policy which will replace the existing one.
The new policy says that students have to study for 15 years to finish the highest education. Earlier, it used to be 12 years, that is two years of pre-school and 10 years of high education. But it takes fifteen years to complete the same.
The New National Education Policy which is also called the 5+3+3+4 structure endorses the idea of five years of fundamental studies, followed by 3 years of preparatory, 3 years of the middle, and 4 Years of Secondary education.
Five years of Fundamental education starts with Nursery for students. At four years they will study Nursery and then go to Junior KG at 5, Senior KG at 6, and 1st and 1st and 2nd standard at 7 and 8 years respectively. There is no big change in fundamental education and students used to follow the same in the old one too. Only the names changed. L.K.G became Junior KG and U.K.G became senior KG.
The actual changes start with the preparatory state. Earlier the 7th standard used to be the board exams and later 10th class was made the board exam. But the new policy changed the status quo and the 12th class which is Intermediate was made the board exams. So students have to give their board exams without any fail.
As per the changes made in the education policy, it takes 18 years to finish higher education as the students will finish second-year intermediate at 18. The students will be introduced to the semester-based exams as they will give their exams in semesters from 9th to 12th. So they will not find it difficult after going to a degree and higher classes.
But the degree and higher class structure have changed massively. Students can opt for either a three or four-year degree. Students wanting to do MA can take up a four-year degree as they can finish MA in just one year. The MPhil will be bypassed and after MA, students can opt for Ph.D. directly.
