The National Council of
Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is set to come up with a model
for pre-school education in 2018.
A national consultation on sustainability in the context of early childhood education (ECE) is slated for November this year.
Making the announcement during the 57th Foundation Day celebrations on Friday , NCERT director Hrushikesh Senapaty said a district-level national achievement survey involving more than 30 lakh children, a first of its kind, would be conducted on November 13. The NCERT has regional institutes of education (RIE) where demonstration multi-purpose schools run pre-school programmes.
These are the laboratories for creating a framework for pre-school education in the country .
The NCERT also runs a nursery school at IIT-Delhi, also a laboratory for the preschool experiment.
“The council is working towards creating a model for pre-school education. It should be ready by next year.And we expect this model to be implemented across the country ,“ said Senapaty. Union minister of state for human resource development Upendra Kushwaha said though some question the quality of NCERT textbooks, “it is by studying these very books that students of Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas have brought laurels by scoring 95%-98% marks in the CBSE examinations every year“.
NCERT spokesman Hemant Kumar said preschools in four RIEs, except in Shillong, opened in 2008 while the IIT Nursery school was opened in 1966.
“The pedagogy followed is play-based and a developmentally appropriate approach is followed... The ECE programme helps young children transit smoothly to Class I,“ he said.
