The Central Government has taken this initiative when the implementation of the new National Education Policy (NEP) has completed five years and the current phase of the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan is also ending on 31 March 2026.
Due to this campaign, there has been a lot of improvement in school education in the last few years both in terms of infrastructure and quality, yet there are steps like increasing learning outcomes, reducing the burden of examinations, making education easier, achieving 100% Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) till class 12, technology and digitalization, which cannot be achieved without increasing social connectivity.
With this in mind, the Education Ministry has now decided to change the entire system of running schools. A draft has been prepared in this regard, in which a committee of intelligent sections of the society can be formed to run the schools.
