National Curriculum Framework India

Developing intellectually curious, self-reliant young adults

Lotus Lake International School follows the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) of India. The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) created the NCF, and the Indian Ministry of Education has given its blessing.

The National Curriculum Framework, which includes recommendations based on research on curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and examination, serves as a general framework for the nation's entire school system.

Five guiding principles for curricular development were suggested by the NCF 2005:

• Connecting knowledge to life outside school,
• Ensuring that learning shifts from rote methods
• Enriching curriculum so that it goes beyond textbooks,
• Making examinations more flexible and integrating them with classroom life.
• Nurturing an overriding identity informed by caring concerns within the democratic polity of the country.

"The Government of India has declared that a new National Curriculum Framework will be unveiled soon under the new National Education Policy (NEP) that was announced in 2022. The new NCF will be adopted and followed by Lotus Lake International School when it becomes effective."
