Union Finance & Corporate Affairs Minister of the Group Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman announced a variety of measures to improve the education sector in New Delhi on 17 May. The Minister said that investing in human capital is equivalent to investing in the productivity and prosperity of the nation. The current pandemic situation has presented new challenges and a number of opportunities for our education system.

The Minister pointed out that the education sector has taken the opportunity to plan a number of interventions, in particular in the field of the adoption of innovative curricula and pedagogy, focusing energy on gap areas, being more inclusive, and integrating technology at all stages, to usher in a new era of targeted investment in human capital.

The Ministry of Finance of the Union has announced an urgent series of steps in this direction, including: 

  1. An extensive initiative called PM e-VIDYA will be launched to unify all efforts related to digital/online/on-air education. This will allow multi-mode access to education, including DIKSHA (one nation-one digital platform) which will now become the nation’s digital infrastructure for providing high-quality e-content in school education to all states / UTs; TV (one class-one channel) where one dedicated channel per grade for each of classes 1 to 12 can provide access to high-quality educational material: SWAYAM online courses in MOOCS format for school and higher education; IITPAL for IITJEE / NEET preparation; Air via Community radio and CBSE Shiksha Vani podcast; and materials for studies produced differently on Digitally Accessible Data This will benefit nearly 25 crore children’s schools across the country.
  2. At this time of the global pandemic, it is vital that we provide psychosocial support to students, teachers, and families for mental health and emotional well-being. The Mandarin initiative is being launched to provide such assistance through a website, a toll-free helpline, a national directory of consultants, an open chat channel, etc. This policy would help all school-going children in the region, along with their parents, teachers, and the school education community.
  3. The government is increasing e-learning in higher education – by liberalizing the regulatory system for free, distance, and online education. Top 100 colleges should launch their online courses. In addition, the online component of conventional universities and ODL programs will also be increased from currently 20 % to 40%. This will provide expanded learning opportunities for approximately 7 core students from various colleges and universities.
  4. Clear reasoning, imaginative and cognitive skills, along with experiential and positive learning for students focused on learning outcomes, need to be encouraged. The curriculum must be rooted in the Indian ethos and must be integrated with global skills requirements. To this final moment, teacher capacity building, a robust curricular framework, engaging learning materials – online and offline, learning outcomes and their measuring indices, assessment techniques, learning progress tracking, etc. – will be designed to take them forward in a systematic way. This project will address the learning needs of nearly four Crore children aged between 3 and 11 years.
  5. A National Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Mission will be initiated to ensure that every child in the country automatically achieves basic literacy and numeracy in Grade 3 by 202 Teacher capacity building, a comprehensive curricular structure, engaging learning resources – both online and offline, learning results, and assessing indexes, appraisal strategies, learning to monitor, etc. This project will address the learning needs of nearly four Crore children aged between 3 and 11 years.
