The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has released UPAAN: Two week Foundation Programme Guidelines for Grade 3 Teachers
NCERT is introducing new syllabi and textbooks for Grade 3 in all subjects as recommended in National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) 2023.
The transition of students to new syllabi and textbooks requires the teachers to introduce all Grade 3 students to new pedagogical approaches as outlined in National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) 2023, before they begin formal study of the new textbooks. It is in this context, a two-week foundation programme for Grade 3 has been proposed to provide students with an experience of activity-based, fun-filled learning, free from curriculum load and the burden of non-comprehension.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has developed a brief guideline for teachers to support the conduct of this two-week foundation programme for Grade 3, including exemplar activities for The World Around Us, Art Education, Physical Education and Well-being
Based on the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) 2023 perspectives, new syllabi, and teaching learning material including textbooks for Grades 3 – 12 are being brought out. This process has various phases—in the first phase, the syllabus and textbooks will be introduced in the first grade of the Preparatory and Middle Stages (Grades 3 and 6). Subsequently, in the years 2025–2026 and 2026–2027, new syllabi and textbooks for the remaining Grades will be introduced, for more details CLICK HERE
