What is the restructured school sector/level as per NEP 2020?

/in /by

Instead of present levels, the NEP 2020 proposed:

  • Foundational stage of school education (3 years of Pre-primary Education including Grades 1 and 2 with corresponding age groups 3+ to 7+ years)
  • The Preparatory phase consists of 3 years, i.e., Grades 3, 4 and 5
  • Middle school education of 3 years (Grades 6, 7, and 8); and
  • The Secondary education phase of 4 years consists of Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. The corresponding clientele age groups of these phases would be Phase I (3+ to 7+ years), Phase II (8+ to 10+ years), Phase III (11+ to 13+ years), and Phase IV (14+ to 17+ years).
