This article talks about the CBSE Notification: Implementation of National Credit Framework (NCrF) in CBSE Schools w.e.f 2024-25. Read Here!
Notice
The National Education Policy 2020 has given great emphasis on the integration of general education and vocational education to enable increased mobility and flexibility in education.
In this regard, a High-Level Committee (HLC) constituted by the Government of India has formulated National Credit Framework (NCrF). NCrF is an enabling framework that lays down basic principles of creditization of learning encompassing three main components viz. credits earned from academic grade, skill programme and relevant experience. The framework enables establishment of equivalence and mobility between general education, both formal and non-formal, and vocational education for lifelong learning, recognition of prior learning, multiple entry and exit, and continuous professional development. It also includes a mechanism for transfer of credits.
CBSE developed and circulated draft NCrF implementation guidelines, discussed them in multiple workshops, and received approval from the Ministry of Education. To further test, refine, and assess their effectiveness in real-world contexts, a pilot implementation of these guidelines has been planned in schools affiliated to CBSE in classes VI, IX and XI, w.e.f. session 2024-2025.
Principals of interested schools for this pilot programme are requested to share their contact details through the link.
CBSE will organize awareness sessions, mentorship programs, and provide guidance to schools participating in the pilot program to ensure the successful trial of the implementation guidelines for the NCrF. Further details will be provided later.
Attached are the guidelines for implementing the NCrF in classes VI, IX, and XI starting from the 2024-25 session.
For any inquiries or feedback about the guidelines, please feel free to reach out to Mr. R. P. Singh, Joint Secretary at CBSE, via email at rpsingh[at]cbseshiksha[dot]in.
