Pre-primary education is all set to become an integral part of the school system with education ministers of all states today approving this key proposal of the Draft National Policy 2019 at a meeting of Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE).
The draft policy set 2025 as the timeline to make early childhood care and education (ECCE), now handled by anganwaris, an integral part of the school system. It proposes complete subsuming of ECCE under the HRD Ministry to ensure continuity of curriculum and pedagogy from pre-primary to primary school.
Ministers of all states backed the proposal with Punjab taking the lead. “We have already provided pre-primary education in schools to over two lakh kids. Our government has backed the draft proposal but sought its integration with schools. The Centre will have to see how it reconciles the anganwari system. We have sought aid for schools along the border with Pakistan,” Punjab Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla said.
