Curriculum / Syllabus
Brighton World School being a CBSE-affiliated school follows the complete syllabus framework as per the NEP 2020.
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes a more flexible and holistic approach to curriculum and syllabus design for students. It encourages a shift from a content-heavy curriculum to one that focuses on essential learning outcomes, critical thinking, and skill development. While the exact curriculum and syllabus details can vary by state, school, and level of education, here are some key principles and changes proposed by NEP 2020 for students:
1. Foundational Stage (Ages 3-8):
- Focus on play-based and activity-based learning.
- Development of cognitive, socio-emotional, and motor skills.
- Introduction to basic language, numeracy, and environmental awareness.
- Mother tongue or regional language as the medium of instruction.
2. Preparatory Stage (Ages 8-11)
- Introduction to subjects like science, mathematics, social sciences, arts, and sports.
- Emphasis on developing basic literacy and numeracy skills.
- Holistic development through art, music, physical education, and more.
- Integration of experiential learning and activities.
3. Middle Stage (Ages 11-14)
- Focus on deeper understanding of subjects and critical thinking.
- Introduction to more specialized subjects while maintaining a multidisciplinary approach.
- Project-based learning to encourage application of knowledge.
- Vocational exposure to diverse fields to help students make informed choices.
4. Secondary Stage (Ages 14-18)
- Flexibility in choosing subjects based on student interests and career aspirations.
- Integration of vocational education and skill development.
- Emphasis on experiential learning and practical applications.
- Opportunity for students to pursue academic or vocational paths.
The NEP 2020 aims to reduce the curriculum content load, allowing students to focus on understanding concepts deeply rather than memorizing facts. It also encourages a competency-based approach to assessment, where students are evaluated based on their understanding, application, and critical thinking skills rather than rote memorization.
It's important to note that the implementation of NEP 2020 can vary by region and institution, so the specific details of the curriculum and syllabus will depend on the educational boards and schools in each area. Students and parents are encouraged to refer to official sources provided by educational authorities and institutions for accurate and up-to-date information on curriculum and syllabus changes according to NEP 2020.
