It’s widely known that education is an ever-evolving discipline, and dynamic changes are necessary to improve the educational process and keep up with the continually expanding ocean of knowledge. To keep up with discoveries and finds in various subjects such as science, mathematics, and the emergence of new ideas and thoughts in philosophy and literature, the educational system must adapt quickly. The skills demanded by industry and corporations from an applicant have shifted drastically too. The education system has to grow so that it can provide the chance to sharpen these skills.

Keeping the above factors in mind, the Indian government proposed a new revamped plan to transform our education system and the overall approach. This new course of action has introduced substantial changes. Read further to understand how these changes may affect you and what you can do about it. 

1) What lies ahead? 

The new scheme will be geared towards producing students who are individuals with a strong sense of morality and have are knowledgeable, possessing an excellent set of skills. The focus is on providing education, which helps students to transform into well – rounded individuals. The goal is to present hands-on learning experience rather than stuffing students’ brains with theoretical jargon. The new policy aims at reducing the burden of books and makes school or college much more engaging.

The 10+2 scheme is being ditched for a 5+3+3+4 system, where the focus will shift from classroom learning to field experience. Vocational training in schools would be encouraged. The weight and pressure of board exams will be reduced, and a more comprehensive marking scheme be bought forth. This will be done to assess every student in all disciplines so that the grades are not just reflective of one’s performance in an exam but the overall growth of the character of that individual. 

The curriculum in the school will become less stringent and more flexible. Under the previous policy, students were separated into arts, science, or commerce. This rigid division will be left behind for a more thoughtful selection of subjects in different fields. Someone who wishes to study science but also wants a commerce subject as his optional choice can now do so. 

2) What are the prospects?

The new education policy almost feels like a recognition of changing times. Theoretical knowledge is not the only requirement while sitting for an interview. These days employers seek out applicants with infectious personalities who lift the morale of their colleagues. They also become great team members and positively contribute to the company. These qualities cannot be polished if the focus of education is to memorize for the next exam.

Given the demand of multi-faceted workers, who not only have the required skills needed for their job but can also be comfortable with new roles or different opportunities provided by the employer, these changes were undoubtedly on the horizon.

This new policy is being implemented to address concerns of unnecessarily heavy bags, redundant or archaic methods of teaching and learning, assessments providing skewed analysis of student’s ability, etc. In the future, one must expect improved assessment methods that strive to provide the full picture of any student’s character. Students and parents may expect a more open-minded way of learning where the subjects are to be taught to refine the existing talents of those studying rather than to promote cramming for exams. 

In the job market of the future, only those will succeed who manage to hone their skills and utilize their talents for problem-solving and managing the workload. 

3) What are the benefits of skill development?

The current corporate environment is cutthroat. There is rarely room for errors and blunders. Keeping in mind these things, the companies have taken a long hard look at their hiring processes and felt the need to make drastic changes. They have repeatedly hit dead ends in search of candidates who possess skills that make them industry-ready due to the lack of advanced training programs in colleges. Students who study in colleges are often well-versed in theory but seem to struggle when entrusted with actual responsibilities. They seem to have no intimation about the course of action because they didn’t receive that kind of training on their college campuses.

To become desirable as a candidate, you need to expand the limitations of your capabilities by improving upon your existing skills and also learn newer ones. You have to be on the lookout for new technologies, recent discoveries, and advancements in your field of interest. Don’t be shy or reserved; put yourself out there and learn new skills. Take part in seminars, training, conferences, etc., so that you stay in the loop. Study the demands companies have for the job profile you desire. Being aware of these requirements will inform your next steps.
