Early Childhood Care & Education in New Education Poicy-2020

Abstract

Education is important for National development. The future of the country depends on the scientific and technological research that takes place in education. Children are the foundation for the future. Child development is highest between the ages of 3 to 6 years. By the age of six, a child's brain growth will have increased by almost 85 percent. Recognizing this, the new National Education Policy -2020 brought in 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 instead of 10 + 2. Childhood care and education should be provided to children between the ages of three to eight as part of this educational approach. ECCE refers to educating children through games, songs, philosophical ideas, drawing, and painting. Thus, social development, emotional development, moral development, and cultural development take place in children. Providing early childhood care and education is one of the many Issues & Challenges. Dedicated Anganwadi workers enroll children in school. The establishments of ECCE centers in primary schools and the provision of teacher facilities, as well as the design of curricula that are conducive to child care and education, are also difficult.
