“We will ensure that every student gets the opportunity for high-quality school education. For this, we will strengthen the network of PM SHRI Schools, Ekalavya Schools and other such schools as per NEP to make them world-class. We will work towards a 100% Gross Enrollment Ratio from pre-school to secondary level.”
Quality-school efforts are anchored by the PM SHRI scheme (PM Schools for Rising India), under which over 14,500 schools are being developed as model/exemplar NEP schools, alongside Eklavya Model Residential Schools for tribal students and NIPUN Bharat for foundational literacy and numeracy. Gross Enrolment Ratio has been improving at most levels but is not yet 100 per cent from pre-school to secondary (with secondary/higher-secondary GER notably below universal). The pledge is in active progress but the 100 per cent GER target is unmet. Partial.
In the last ten years, we have developed a robust skill development ecosystem. In line with the objectives of NEP, we will further enhance it and integrate it with our education system. We will continue to work with industry to expand skilling opportunities that lead to employment and self-employment.
We will achieve 100% implementation of ‘One Nation, One Student ID’ through the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) to store academic qualifications, credit scores and certificates, among others for students from pre-primary to higher education.
We will make our youth future ready by adopting a dynamic learning curriculum at school level as mandated by NEP and by incorporating industry-aligned curriculum and skill development in emerging technologies in higher education.
