From this year onwards the Indian government has decided that:
1) If you fail your class examination, the marksheet will not read “FAIL” but instead “Elligible for Improvement”. You just give the exam again and pass.
2) Maths is not compulsory after 9th grade.
3) New subjects are added, such as sociology, psychology and other vocational subjects like carpentry, home science, sculpting etc.
4) Nobody fails till 10th grade. All students from 1st grade to 9th grade must be passed regardless of their scores.
5) You can now choose any combination of subjects in high school. Before you had to pick one field, like Engineering (Physics/Chem/Math), or Medicine (Phy/Chem/Biology) or Arts (PolSci/Eco/History/Geography) or Commerce (Math/Eco/Accounts). But now there’s no such thing anymore. You can pick Maths with PolSci, or you can pick Geography with Physics. Or any crazy combination. You just need 3 subjects with a language subject.
6) Ranks will not be disclosed. No such bullshit like “I’m first, you’re second”. Percentage scores will not be disclosed. No more marks. Just comments, “Excellent”, “Very Good”, “Good”, “Average”, “Needs Guidance”.
What do you think of India’s NEP (New Education Policy)?
>No math after 9th Grade Do they want to make us a nation of help desk jockeys and paan waalas?

Some other changes in the wordings,
“Persons with Disability” has been changed to “Specially Enabled People”
“Scheduled Castes” or “Dalits” has been changed to “Historically Disadvantaged Castes”
Lower caste people who are rich and therefore become ineligible to receive affirmative action are thusly named, “Creamy Layer”.
“Poor” has been changed to “Economically Weaker Sections” (EWS)

1: good, education is about becoming better at something like lifting weights or running marathons, its not just a checklist of your skills then and there
2. retarded, mathematics is about solving problems and problem solving is a skill you need through your entire life
3. sociology is pseduoscience, psychology too. Carpentry as a subject is based though, you can never have enough practical skills
4. thats retarded, students should be allowed to fail, but should be given another opportunity to succeed with sufficient support
5. thats good, let people study what they want, but in my opinion Mathematics, English, and your native language should be mandatory for everyone always
6. this is good, school isn't a competition against others, its a competition against yourself to become the best you can be, in school you shouldn't focus on anyone but yourself
Overall very good, but its retarded that they make Mathematics so voluntary
it’s good for the average 80-90 IQ peasant, let them learn something like carpentry or plumbing, and make a living out of it. As india developes these jobs will have higher demand
only high IQ people should take Engineering or Medicine. Right now we have a problem where half the population takes engineering just because they think they don’t have any other good option, and they suck at it

>2) Maths is not compulsory after 9th grade. based, if you don't work with maths, then anything over + - * / % is useless and you will forget it anyway, better learn something according to your interest

>1 Hopefully this does not mean softening the standards as it too often does. >2 Fucking retarded. >3 The vocational bits are based, the other things not so much >4 You are just asking for it, take it from a burger. >5 I like it for having a series of different courses to take, but I think there are some things that should be standard regardless such as mathematics. >specially enabled Being PC about it is not the answer, no one in a wheelchair goes “oh boy I’m so glad I can’t use my own two legs!” And I sure as hell don’t thank my lucky stars that I have a lot of issues with the colors red and green. >historically disadvantaged castes Given the state of the caste system in India this is understandable. Overall not too bad but has some issues nonetheless. But trying to pass everyone will fuck your shit up, and we have the proofs for that with Bush and No Child Left Behind.

Extremely, extremely based. This will finally stop the flood of students feeling pressured to go study something which they don't want to and then to run off to university and further crowd the job market
Instead India will start building a vocationally skilled workforce for technical work that can be readily deployed for manufacturing that will actually spur economic growth into high gear
Alexander Flores
I think they stopped disclosing percentage scores long ago at least in CBSE. I just got my GPA.
From nursery to 10th grade students should enjoy life. Its only in 11th-12th grade imo where they should start thinking about their careers n shit. I remember this one kid at my school who was in 6th grade and his mom used to send him to Math Olympiad classes. What the fuck? The kids like 12.
Like all the points. Brainlets shouldn't be forced to learn. If they develop interest later they can learn then.
Dominic Morales
Go fuck yourselves school-is-important-tards
Julian Sanders
all seems pretty based except number 4
Isaac Robinson
the major problem in this country is every tier 2 brainlet thinks he can do engineering and make big money and fame like Nadella or Pichai but just ends up wasting University seats and his dad’s money.
Jonathan Foster
why am i getting a feeling we will be more of a meme country when this affects the workforce
Ayden Robinson
>namefagging with "anonymous" lurk moar this will unironically vastly improve the quality of India's workforce for the type of manufacturing it's suited to
Connor Perez
This sounds like a larp
Luke Baker
>3. sociology is pseduoscience, psychology too Zig Forums-tier logic
Elijah Sullivan
mfw my country wants to make our curriculum more "islamic"
Sociology may as well be called leftist optics studies
Jeremiah Morgan
It's not.
Btw, I just realised there will not be any exams at all. Except 3 exams. In Grade 3 (more like an activity session)
>Instead of exams being held every academic year, school students will only attend three exams, in classes 3, 5 and 8
>This policy aims at reducing the curriculum load of students and allowing them to be more "inter-disciplinary" and "multi-lingual". One example given was "If a student wants to pursue fashion studies with physics, or if one wants to learn bakery with chemistry, they'll be allowed to do so."[19] Report cards will be "holistic", offering information about the student's skills.[1]
India needs low-skill and medium-skill manufacturing to build its economy, high-tech stuff can quickly catch up if there's a strong economic base to support it - one that India doesn't have rn
Easton Flores
>... while V. Ramgopal Rao, compared the new education policy with the Morrill Land-Grant Acts of United States and called it a "Morril Moment" for India.
What does the Morril Grant Act mean Americans?
Justin Jones
>low-skill and medium-skill manufacturing
But India arguably has this in many sectors. It makes no sense to steer away from technology in the midsts of a technological revolution, especially when India already has a strong tech industry
