The Union Ministry of Education announced guidelines on July 30 for implementing bagless days in classes 6 to 8, as well as making school learning more enjoyable, experiential, and stress-free.
The PSS Central Institute of Vocational Education, a subsidiary of the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT), developed the guidelines, which were released on the fourth anniversary of the new National Education Policy (NEP) in 2020.
The NEP 2020 recommends that all students in classes 6–8 participate in a 10-day bagless period.
“The idea behind 10 bagless days is to make them an integral part of the teaching learning process rather than an add-on to the existing scheme of studies of education from classes 6-8. It will not only reduce the boundaries between the bookish knowledge and application of knowledge but also expose children to the skill requirements in the work areas, thus helping them to decide the future career path,” the guidelines stated.
“Every student will take a fun course during classes 6-8 that gives a survey and hands-on experience of a sampling of important vocational craft such as carpentry, electric work, metal work, gardening, pottery making, etc, as decided by states and local communities and as mapped by local skilling needs,” they added.
The ministry stated that all students would participate in a 10-day bagless period anytime between classes 6 and 8, during which they would intern with local vocational experts like as carpenters, gardeners, potters, and so on.
“Ten bagless days activities can be accommodated in any number of slots in an annual calendar. But it is advisable to keep two or three slots. While developing an annual work plan, all subject teachers may be involved. If necessary, indoor and outdoor activities may be clubbed in a day,” the guidelines stated.
The NCERT recommendations propose activities such as visiting and surveying vegetable markets, visiting charities, doing surveys and writing reports on pet care, doodling, constructing and flying kites, organizing a book fair, sitting under a banyan tree, and visiting a biogas plant and solar energy park.
Among other initiatives launched on the NEP anniversary were dedicated TV channels to facilitate learning of various Indian languages; a Tamil channel; primers for early graders in 25 Indian languages; career guidance guidelines; National Mission for Mentoring and National Professional Standards for Teachers in braille and audiobooks; school innovation marathon by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE); and a book on graduation attributes and professional.
Four books and lecture notes aimed at spreading Indian knowledge systems to students and teachers were also released.
“The four-year journey of NEP, 2020, has been about bringing in transformative change in the country’s education system for nurturing a new generation of learners. NEP, 2020, stands as a symbol of hope for transforming the learning landscape, harnessing the country’s demographic dividend, empowering the population and driving socio-economic development,” Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said in a message.
“Implementation of NEP has made learning more vibrant and guided in making the country’s education more futuristic, rooted, global and outcome-oriented,” he added.
The Akhil Bharatiya Siksha Samagam has been designed as an event to commemorate the adoption of the NEP, 2020, to reenergize the commitment of diverse stakeholders to its efficient implementation, and to realise the collective strength for achieving shared goals via collaborative efforts.
