New Education policy - 2016

Incubation centres under each State Govt with funding of minimum 100 crores every year to promote new innovation in schools and colleges both public and private. An integrated online portal to submit by students and teachers must be kept. Globally teachers do more research than students leading to students helping them and learning. So the incubation centres must support both students and teachers.
Central govt separate incubation fund of 500 crores per year for innovation across age group and institutions of any nature. A separate team must be formed with panelists from all ministries and departments. Approval must be less than 45 days if exceeded then genuine reason for rejection must be given. All meetings must be by online and for going through the proposals online skype meeting to present to reduce cost
Teachers must take up online test every week irrespective of state govt or private institution at both school and college level. The test will give immediate feedback to education ministry of each state and HRD to focus on grey areas and give training for teachers in those subjects in details. And also supply materials to the students or revise syllabus accordingly to understand.
Same way school students must undergo online test on all subjects in language of their choice in both CBSE, state govt school and colleges to get feedback on the understanding of the student community knowledge. The test must be available to students to take either in college or school premises or outside also in own free time. The test marks must be not taken for evaluation but to understand their knowledge level. The students can refer online also to pass exam. The analytics on the data will give more insight on what is wrong fundamentally
Increasing number of KV schools in all districts across India and increasing size of KV schools to accommodate more students. More NIT must be setup in more districts across the country to bring out more talent. Currently for few seats students have to over compete with cut throat competition. Is this the way the students and their parents have to suffer
Bihar board exams are a classic example of how the education setup has been fooled around to help the students pass with illegal methods. Lack of centralised team monitoring exams of such states like Bihar is needed.
Correspondence courses are very poor with lack of any classes taken. All courses must be compulsorily available online to study as most of the time waiting for books delays the study. Compulsorily classes or online material for 40% of the course duration needed.
Ranking of govt schools and govt colleges by HRD and independent authorities. Currently ranking of private schools and colleges are done by paid news and magazines. The government can focus on ranking of govt schools to bring more to govt schools to give quality education.
Creating standard lab manuals, lab instructor training, key equipment should be available in all labs for each subject for every 40 students. Our labs are sealed immediately post 4PM and nobody is ready to give extra training to students. Every Saturday every week in schools and colleges which are currently announced as leave must be marked for labs practical's and sports alone. The same will go a long way in promoting overall growth
Sports or extra curricular activities no marks are allotted. So marks of at least 50 added in board exams for those who have an extra skill must be created. Adding marks will only make students and parents serious. The extra – curricular activities may be anything like sports player at school or district or state level, singer, artist, innovator, etc,.
Teachers and students must be brought under Aadhaar based attendance system. There is so much fraud happening as many don’t govt school/colleges on time or don’t take classes. Students who don’t come to govt school are in the attendance and many claims are made in their name in fraud accounts which leads as loss to exchequer. The system will save crores of loss to Govt and in turn can be used to cut salary or put automatic leave for teachers who don’t go to school on time. The opportunity to know the amount of time which has to be extended in work to compensate must be given till end of month as an opportunity to compensate the time lag. Portal will help.
Overall the Education policy is very good. It clearly is some of the hard work of Smriti Irani also. Thanks to her also as she is a warrior but due to some political concerns she had to be moved to different ministry as opposition was preventing free working of education ministry and here controversial comments. Smriti Irani and team have done a great work. Only few people in this country know. Some may talk about yoga and Sanskrit but many areas are being covered which will take India definitely forward.
