New Delhi: In line with the 2020 National Education Policy, the British-based Cambridge International introduces a new secondary curriculum (age group of five and 14) new offers new subjects such as art and design, digital literacy, physical education, and music.
Earlier in February 2021, the International Education Council which is currently an affiliate of more than 530 schools in India has become the first education council to come up with a curriculum on early childhood education based on NEP.
Apart from the introduction of new subjects, Cambridge International has also revised its core subjects – England as a second language, mathematics, science, global perspective and information and communication technology (ICT).
Safe! You have managed to throw your voteogin to see the results of new changes synchronized with NEP 2020, focusing on skills.
Speaking to Toi, Abigail Barnett, Deputy Director, Curriculum Program, Cambridge International, said: “We have made many changes, especially in mathematics and science, because they are a subject that can be outdated.
Because there are always scientific studies that occur and think of mathematics .
When we returned to see the subject, we realized that we wanted to have a stronger focus on the skills you need in mathematics and science.
So we now have a new strand named thinking and working mathematically, and thinking and working scientifically.
Both of them focus very strong on skills.
So it really helps the teacher to understand mathematics, it’s not just a problem solving, you can break it into a more specific skill.
And students can understand what skills they need to use to solve certain problems.
So we think that this subject is now refreshed and ter Now, and in harmony with thinking throughout the world.
For example, in India, with your new national education policy, there is a strong focus there on the 21st century skills.
So we thought Cambridge could show how we were very aligned with it.

According to Barnett, the main benefit of the revised program includes equipping young students with the knowledge and skills they need for the transition and progress smoothly to the next stage, the revision path can be used flexibly by school – can be used together with a national curriculum or used based on subjects -Subjek, students can begin to develop lifelong skills such as resilience, evaluation and troubleshooting and are based on the latest academic research and global best practices in elementary and secondary school learning.
In the last five years, the number of Indian schools affiliated with Cambridge International has grown from 398 to 538.
Barnett explained that through mapping and comparison, Cambridge International tries to understand the field of similarity and “things in the Indian curriculum that is not in the Cambridge curriculum, and vice versa.

“Then the school has a very good understanding of other things they need to include their local requirements.
So there is enough flexibility to do that.
But because, from what I see from the national education policy, I am sure that we will be very aligned with The changes we see in the Indian curriculum, because there is a strong focus on the 21st century skills, “adding Barnett.
In the impact of Covid-19 on the curriculum, Barnett said that because a lot of work had been done before the pandemic in 2019, it was still not affected as “about the concepts and skills needed by anyone”.
However, what the board did during a pandemic was to support teachers and schools with materials that helped them teach the curriculum during locking.
“We have provided more links for digital and online resources that are useful.
But we also have a strong emphasis on welfare, because we understand that the impact of young people who cannot socialize can have a very negative impact.
So we have provided a lot.
Suggestions for schools and teachers about how you try and support students when you don’t see it physically in class.
