Addressing Conclave on Transformational Reforms in Higher Education under #NationalEducationPolicy through video conference, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said:
so far, the focus of our education policy has been ‘what to think’, whereas, the new education policy lays stress on ‘how to think’. Why I say this because there is no dearth of information and content in the present times. There is a flood of information; all the information is available on mobile phones. What information is necessary and what needs to be learnt should be important. Keeping this in mind, attempt has been made in the National Education Policy to reduce the burden of unnecessary syllabus and books. The need of the hour is to teach students with inquiry-based, discovery-based, discussion-based and analysis-based ways. Children will not only develop interest to learn but their participation in classes will also increase.PM Modi addresses Conclave on Transformational Reforms in Higher Education under #NationalEducationPolicy through video conference.
