State Curriculum Framework - Workshop on Tech Platform - Orders

developing the SCEs in a paperless manner.

4. These SCFs in the draft form will provide valuable inputs for the National

Curriculum Frameworks. After the finalisation of all the four National Curiculum

Frameworks, the states/0Ts will finalise their State Curriculum Frameworks by

adopting/adapting inputs from the tinal recommendations of NCFS for their implementation in

the states/UTs.

5. For the purpose of developing State Curriculum Frameworks, following steps

are required to be taken by the states/UTs:

i. Ensuring that the State/UT nominates SCERT (wherever it is available) as the nodal

agency for developing State Curriculum Frameworks in collaboration with concerned

state/UT agencies such as School Examination boards, SIEMAT, SEs, etc. working

under the aegis of Department of School Education. In case of non-availability of

SCERT, either Department of School Education (DSE) or another nominated agency

working under DSE may lead this task. (SCERT can take lead for all the SCFs in view

of its diverse roles including school education, teacher education and adult education)

ii. Nominating two nodal ofcers from the SCERT to coordinate with nodal officers of the

NCERT for taking forward the development of SCFs in the states/UTS

i. Setting up of 25 State Focus Groups (as per the template provided by the NCERT) for

developing state position papers in the identified areas. These position papers wil

provide inputs for the SCFs.

iv.Setting up of three separate Steering Committees, one jointly for State Curriculum

Framework for School Education and State Curriculum Framework for ECCE, second

for SCF for Teacher Education and third for SCF for Adult Education (as per the

template provided by the NCERT)

V. Consultations at the district level for taking inputs on the survey questionnaires

developed at the National level.

6. That the entire process of developing NCFs and SCFs will be paperless and

conducted using Tech Platform to be developed by the NIC, MoE in close academic

collaboration of the NCERT. For each for the Focus Group's Position Paper and State

Curriculum Framework, e-template will be provided on the Tech Platform which will be

filled-up by the states/UTs. Also, Survey Questionnaire/Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

for district/sub-district level App based Survey for important stakeholders, such as, parents,

PRIS, ULBs, AW and ASHA workers, teachers, Principals, students, CSOs, etc. will be

developed for the purpose. MyGov platform will also be used suitably with its available tools

to make the whole process paperless. Similar processes may be followed by UTs in view of

providing space to their own contexts in the curriculum frameworks. NCERT will also be

conducting orientation programmes for the states/0Ts on the processes of developing SCFs.

7. NCFs and SCFs will serve as implementation guidelines for transforming the entire

school education and Early Childhood Care and Education in view of concerns of equity,

inclusion, multilingualism, experiential learning as posited in the NEP 2020 to provide 15

years of school education in coming future. Accordingly, Teacher Education will also be

transtormed and Adult Education will get its new meaning focussing on lifelong learning.

8. It was requested to initiate planning for the development of SCFs along with first

identifying the nodal officers and resource persons.
