Centre to set up PM Shri Schools: Minister

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday said the Centre is planning to set up “PM Shri Schools”. The schools will be aimed at preparing students for future. It will be the laboratory of new National Education Policy (NEP).

The minister highlighted 5+3+3+4 approach of NEP covering pre-school to secondary, emphasis on ECCE, teacher training & adult education, integration of skill development with school education and prioritising learning in mother tongue. These are steps for preparing global citizens of the 21st century.

All are national languages, says Dharmendra Pradhan

No language is any less than Hindi or English, said Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan at a conference. He said the Centre would work with State governments to frame policies. They will work like “five fingers coming together to form a fist”.

He said these state-of-the-art schools will be the “laboratory of NEP 2020”.

“We cannot deprive our new generation from 21st century knowledge and skills. I also encourage and solicit suggestions and feedback from all our states and UTs and the entire education ecosystem for creating a futuristic benchmark model in the form of PM Shri schools,” he added.
