New Education Policy 2021 is based on the three paradigm shifts which guide the National Curriculum Framework: Transitioning to holistic and multidisciplinary learning. Transitioning to an emphasis on analytical thinking rather than rote learning. Transitioning to a new pedagogical and curricular structure.
