Alignment of NCERT Syllabus with National Education Policy 2020

The Ministry of Education reports that, following NEP 2020 recommendations, NCERT issued the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF‑FS) 2022 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF‑SE) 2023. The frameworks were drafted after extensive bottom‑up consultations involving over 13 lakh citizens, 1.5 lakh teachers/parents/students, 1 550 district‑level meetings across 32 states/UTs, 35 institutional groups, and more than 600 position papers from experts. Subsequently, NCERT set up the National Syllabus and Teaching‑Learning Material Committee (NSTC) and the National Curriculum Framework Oversight Committee (NOC) to develop new syllabi and textbooks for Grades 1‑9, incorporating detailed reviews for academic accuracy, inclusivity, and alignment with NEP 2020, NCF‑FS 2022 and NCF‑SE 2023. The information was provided by Minister of State for Education Shri Jayant Chaudhary in a Lok Sabha reply.
