Monthly Newsletter | October 2022 | Volume 38
Dear Readers,
We are glad to present to you the October edition of the School360 Newsletter.
Education sector has bounced back with vigor in the post pandemic era. After reopening for physical classes earlier this year, various schemes are being implemented by the central and state governments to make the schools NEP (National Education Policy) compliant. Maharashtra government is planning to do away with homework in schools. The central board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reverted to the pre-pandemic pattern of board exams for 2022-23 academic year. To support states and union territories in increasing the literacy among non-literates in 15-year-olds and older across the country, the Indian government has recently approved the ‘New India Literacy Programme’ for the financial years 2022-2027. It will cover 5 crore non-literates, including minorities, replacing ‘adult education’ with ‘education for all’
