Context 

Prime Minister announced PM SHRI Schools (PM Schools for Rising India).


What is the PM-SHRI scheme?

  • PM SHRI Schools (PM Schools for Rising India) is a new centrally sponsored scheme.

A centrally sponsored scheme is one where the cost of implementation is likely to split in the 60:40 ratio among the Union government and the states/Union Territories. 

  • Under it, as many as 14,500 schools across states and Union Territories will be redeveloped to reflect the key features of the NEP, 2020.
  • There are exemplary schools like Navodaya Vidyalayas, Kendriya Vidyalayas, the PM SHRI will act as “NEP labs”.

NEP in school education

  • The NEP envisages a curricular structure and teaching style divided into various stages – foundational, preparatory, middle and secondary.
    • The foundational years (pre-school and grades I, II) will involve play-based learning.
    • At the preparatory level (III-V), light textbooks are to be introduced along with some formal classroom teaching.
    • Subject teachers are to be introduced at the middle level (VI-VIII).
    • Secondary stage (IX-XII) will be multidisciplinary in nature with no hard separation between arts and sciences or other disciplines.

Verifying, please be patient.
