India’s new education policy (NEP 2020) introduces a modern structure that focuses on flexibility, skill development and holistic learning, replacing the traditional 10+2 system.

New Structure

NEP 2020 introduces the 5+3+3+4 system, replacing the 10+2 model. This aims to align Indian education with global standards.

Foundational Stage (5 years)

Covers ages 3-8, including preschool and Years 1-2, with play-based learning. Early childhood education focuses on cognitive and social development.

Preparatory Stage (3 years)

For ages 8-11, covering Years 3-5, emphasising interactive learning. Subjects like mathematics and science are introduced in a fun, engaging way.

Middle Stage (3 years)

Targets ages 11-14 (Years 6-8), introducing subject-specific learning. Practical and project-based learning methods are encouraged.

Secondary Stage (4 years)

For ages 14-18 (Years 9-12), offering flexible subject choices. This prepares students for higher education and career paths.

Holistic Development

The system promotes critical thinking and flexibility. Arts, sports, and vocational training are given equal importance.
