--CURRENT AFFAIRS -
National Education Policy (NEP)
ntext: Vice President of India and Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu has said that the New
Educational Policy will make India a global educational hub. He urged the public to give their views and
suggestions on the draft NEP by the stipulated time of 15th of this month.
The Draft Policy is built on foundational pillars of Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability and Accountability.
Background:
In May this year, the draft National Education Policy (NEP) developed by a committee chaired by K.
Kasturirangan was shared by the ministry of human resource development (MHRD) for public comment. A
comprehensive education policy for India is on the anvil for the first time since 1986.
Key highlights of the draft:
1. Early childhood care and education:
 High-quality early childhood care and education will be provided for all children between the ages of 3
and 6 by 2025.
 This will be done within institutions such as schools and anganwadis, which would have a mandate to take
care of the overall well-being of the child—nutritional, health, and education.
 These institutions will also provide similar support to families for children younger than three years of
age—within their homes. The criticality of brain development in the early years has become clear in the
past few decades; this policy will result in a massive positive multiplier effect on society.
2. Ensuring foundational literacy and numeracy:

Every student will start achieving age-appropriate foundational literacy and numeracy by 2025. A slew of
programmes and measures are articulated for this purpose. This is aimed at the basic issue facing our education
system today—of students not being able to read, write and do elementary math.
3. Transformed curricular and pedagogical structure for school education:

The curriculum and pedagogical structures will be designed anew to be appropriate and effective, based on
children’s cognitive and socio-emotional development.

The curriculum will be integrated and flexible with equal emphasis on all subjects and fields. There will be no
separation of curricular, co-curricular or extra-curricular areas—with all in a single category of equal importance.
Vocational and academic streams will be integrated and offered to all students. Examination systems will be
radically changed to assess real learning, make them stress-free, and aim for improvement instead of the passing of
judgements.
4. Universal access and retention in schools:

All Indians between ages 3 and 18 to be in school by 2030. The Right to Education Act will be extended from pre-
school to class XII.
5. Teachers at the centre:

The profession of teaching, and so teachers, will be at the centre of the education system, focused on the student and
educational aims. All schools will be fully resourced with teachers—with working conditions for an energetic work
culture. No “temporary” teachers will be allowed; all positions will be filled with competent and qualified teachers.
A development-oriented performance management system will be put in place. The teacher education system will be
transformed, with rigorous teacher preparation through a four-year integrated stage and subject-specific programmes
offered only in multi-disciplinary institutions.
6. New institutional architecture for higher education:

India’s current 800 universities and over 40,000 colleges will be consolidated into about 10,000-15,000 institutions
of excellence to drive improvement in quality and expansion of capacity. This architecture will have only large
multi-disciplinary institutions, with significant investment.
Three types of higher education institutions will be there: Type 1 universities focused on research but also teaching
all programmes, undergrad to doctoral; Type 2 universities focused on teaching all programmes while also
conducting research and; Type 3 colleges focused on teaching undergrad programmes. All types will grant their own
degrees. There will be no system of university affiliations.
7. High-quality liberal education:

All undergraduate education will be broad-based liberal education that integrates the rigorous study of sciences, arts,
humanities, mathematics and vocational and professional fields with choices offered to students. Imaginative and
flexible curricula will develop critical thinking, creative abilities and other fundamental capacities. Multiple exit and
entry points will be offered, with appropriate certification after one, two, three and four years of study. There will be
a four-year undergraduate programme available in addition to three-year programmes.

8. Increase in public investment:
There will be a substantial increase in public investment to expand and vitalize public education at all levels.
Challenges in implementation:
1. What is recommended is a doubling of public funding to 6% of the GDP and increasing overall public
expenditure on education to 20% from the current 10%. This is desirable but does not appear to be feasible
in the near future given that most of the additional funding has to come from the States.
2. While establishing new institutions for Pali, Prakrit and Persian appears to be a novel idea, shouldn’t
the Central Institute of Indian Languages in Mysuru be strengthened and perhaps even upgraded to a
university with an extended mandate to take care of these languages?
3. Expanding coverage under the RTE Act to include pre-school children is extremely important, but
should perhaps be introduced gradually, keeping in mind the quality of infrastructure and teacher
vacancies. Amendment of the Act can perhaps wait for a while.
4. The idea of setting up the Rashtriya Shiksha Aayog under the Prime Minister and having it serviced by the
MHRD is crucial in order to integrate the approaches and programmes of multiple departments. However,
it is fraught with many administrative problems and possible turf battles. Bringing medical or agricultural
or legal education under one umbrella is likely to be met with stiff opposition. What is going to happen, for
example, to the National Medical Commission Bill, 2017?
5. The idea of regulation being brought under the National Higher Education Regulatory Authority, standard
setting under the General Education Council and funding under the Higher Education Grants Council may
require a revisit so that there is synchronisation with the current Bill for the Higher Education Commission
of India.
6. The draft policy is silent on the Institutions of Eminence and agencies like the Higher Education
Funding Agency.
7. Language issues have to be handled sensitively in view of their emotional overtones, as witnessed
recently. Protests are often made without understanding the spirit of the text.
Schemes for Elementary Education

With the formulation of National Policy on Education, India initiated a wide range of programmes for achieving the goal of UEE
through several schematic and Programme interventions, such as
 Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan
 Mid Day Meal
 Mahila Samakhya
 Strengthening for providing quality Education in Madrassas ( SPQEM)
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is implemented as India's main Programme for universalizing elementary education. Its overall goals
include universal access and retention, bridging of gender and social category gaps in education and enhancement of learning
levels of children.
Schemes for Secondary Education

Secondary Education is the most significant stage in the educational hierarchy as it prepares the students for higher education and
the world of work. The policy at present is to make secondary education of good quality available, accessible and affordable to all
young persons in the age group of 14-18. At present, the following schemes targeted at secondary stage (i.e. class IX to XII) are
being implemented in the form of Centrally Sponsored Schemes:
 Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan
 Girls Hostel Scheme

 National Scheme of Incentives to Girls for Secondary Education
 Inclusive Education for Disabled at Secondary Stage
 Scheme of Vocational Education
 National Merit-cum-Means Scholarship Scheme
 Scheme for construction and running of Girls’ Hostel for students of secondary and higher secondary schools
 Scholarship schemes for Minority students
 National Scholarships
The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) promotes educational development both in quantitative and
qualitative terms and makes special efforts to remove disparities and equalize educational opportunities for all students. NCERT
acknowledges and appreciates educational brilliance in students through the National Talent Search Scheme. It also seeks to
applaud artistic distinction through the Chacha Nehru Scholarships - for artistic and innovative excellence. The National Bal Bhawan
has instituted a system of honouring talented children in different age groups in the year 1995 through the Bal Shree scheme.
Schemes for Higher Education

Higher Education is the shared responsibility of both the Centre and the States. The coordination and determination of standards in
institutions is the constitutional obligation of the Central Government. The Central Government provides grants to UGC and
establishes Central Universities in the country. Meritorious students, from families with or without necessary means, need an
incentive or encouragement to keep on working hard in their studies and go to the next level of education in their academic c areer.
This is where the scholarships and education loans play a crucial role.
Following are some significant fellowship schemes/scholarships awarded by the various institutions:
 Scheme of Apprenticeship Training
 National Scholarships
 Post-Doctoral Research Fellow (Scheme)
 Junior Research Fellowships for biomedical sciences
 All India Council for Technical Education Scholarships
 Department of Science and Technology grants and fellowships
 DST's Scholarship Scheme for Women Scientists and Technologists
 Biotechnology fellowships for doctoral and postdoctoral studies by DBT
 Scholarships /Awards at Undergraduate & Postgraduate level in various science courses at the University of Delhi
 Fellowships/Scholarships/Awards by the Jawaharlal Nehru University
 Sports Authority of India promotional schemes
 Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities - Schemes/Programmes
 Scholarship Schemes for ST Students by Ministry of Tribal Affairs
 Post-matric Scholarships for SC /ST students
Scholarships for Minority Students

INDIAN LOGIC MCQ-

Directions to Solve
In each question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take
the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the
conclusion and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements,
disregarding commonly known facts.
Give answer:
 (A) If only conclusion I follows
 (B) If only conclusion II follows
 (C) If either I or II follows
 (D) If neither I nor II follows and

 (E) If both I and II follow.
1. Statements: No women teacher can play. Some women teachers are athletes.
Conclusions:
I. Male athletes can play.
II. Some athletes can play.
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Either I or II follows

D. Neither I nor II follows
E. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Since one premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative. So, neither conclusion follows.
2. Statements: All bags are cakes. All lamps are cakes.

Conclusions:
I. Some lamps are bags.
II. No lamp is bag.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Since the middle term 'cakes' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows.
However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. So, either I or II follows.
3. Statements: All mangoes are golden in colour. No golden-coloured things are cheap.
Conclusions:
I. All mangoes are cheap.
II. Golden-coloured mangoes are not cheap.

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Clearly, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No
mango is cheap'. Since all mangoes are golden in colour, we may substitute 'mangoes' with 'golden-coloured
mangoes'. Thus, II follows.
4. Statements: Some kings are queens. All queens are beautiful.

Conclusions:
I. All kings are beautiful.
II. All queens are kings.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular. So, neither I nor II follows.
5. Statements: Some doctors are fools. Some fools are rich.

Conclusions:
I. Some doctors are rich
II. Some rich are doctors.

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows.
6. Statements: All roads are waters. Some waters are boats.

Conclusions:
I. Some boats are roads.
II. All waters are boats.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The first premise is A type and distributes the subject. So, the middle term 'waters' which forms its predicate, is
not distributed. The second premise is I type and does not distribute either subject or predicate. So, the middle
term 'waters' forming its subject is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the
premises, no definite conclusion follows.
7. Statements: No bat is ball. No ball is wicket.

Conclusions:
I. No bat is wicket.
II. All wickets are bats.

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Since both the premises are negative, no definite conclusion follows.
8. Statements: All flowers are trees. No fruit is tree.

Conclusions:
I. No fruit is flower.
II. Some trees are flowers.
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
As discussed above, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it
follows that 'No flower is fruit'. I is the converse of this conclusion and thus it follows. II is the converse of the first
premise and so it also holds.
9. Statements: Every minister is a student. Every student is inexperienced.

Conclusions:
I. Every minister is inexperienced.
II. Some inexperienced are students.
Answer: Option E
Explanation:

'Every' is equivalent to 'All'. Thus, since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be
universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. II is the converse of the second
premise and thus it also holds.
10. Statements: All roads are poles. No pole is a house.

Conclusions:
I. Some roads are houses.
II. Some houses are poles.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative.
So, neither I nor II follows.
11. Statements: All fish are tortoise. No tortoise is a crocodile.

Conclusions:
I. No crocodile is a fish.
II. No fish is a crocodile.
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative.
Also, the conclusion should not contain the middle term. So, II follows; I is the converse of II and thus it also

holds.
12. Statements: Some dedicated souls are angels. All social workers are angels.
Conclusions:
I. Some dedicated souls are social workers.
II. Some social workers are dedicated souls.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The first premise is an I type proposition. So, the middle term 'angels' forming the predicate is not distributed. The
second premise is an A type proposition. So, the middle term 'angels' forming the predicate is not distributed.
Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows.
13. Statements: No gentleman is poor. All gentlemen are rich.

Conclusions:
I. No poor man is rich.
II. No rich man is poor.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The first premise is an E-type proposition, So, the middle term 'gentleman' forming the subject is distributed. The

second premise is an A-type proposition. So, the middle term 'gentlemen' forming the subject is distributed. Since
the middle term is distributed twice, the conclusion cannot be universal. Since one premise is negative, the
conclusion must be negative. Thus, it follows that 'Some rich men are not poor'. Thus, neither I nor II follows.
14. Statements: Some swords are sharp. All swords are rusty
Conclusions:
I. Some rusty things are sharp.
II. Some rusty things are not sharp.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, I
follows. Since both the premises are affirmative, the conclusion cannot be negative. Thus, II does not follow.
15. Statements: All fishes are grey in colour. Some fishes are heavy.
Conclusions:
I. All heavy fishes are grey in colour.
II. All light fishes are not grey in colour.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:

Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, it
follows that 'Some heavy things are grey in colour'. I is a cumulative result of this conclusion and the first premise.
Thus, only I holds.
