[nongothungtungoe]

Parents kindly take note of the following information for your children.

Under NEP 2020, the existing School System(10+2) will now be replaced by the new School System ( 5+3+3+4).

EXISTING SCHOOL SYSTEM (PRE-SCHOOL AND 10+2 )
Pre-School (Age group from 2 to 6 years )
1.Playgroup/pre-nursery( from 2 years to 3 years)
2.Nursery( from 3 yrs to 4 yrs)
3.LKG(from 4 yrs to 5 yrs)
4.UKG(from 5 years to 6 years).

On completion of 6 years of age a student enter Class 1 under 10+2 School System where 10 years of High School and 2 years of Secondary School(Arts/Science/Commerce) is followed.

Now under the New School System
5+3+3+4, here are the major changes in the CLASSES AND AGE GROUP:

1.Nursery(From 3 years to 4 years)
2.KG(from 4 yrs to 5 yrs)
3.Prep(from 5 yrs to 6 yrs)
4.Class 1(from 6 yrs to 7 yrs)
5.Class 2(from 7 yrs to 8 yrs)

Note: The above 5 Classes should be in ONE School System.

Next Class group
1.Class 3
2.Class 4
3.Class 5
( from 8 yrs to 11 yrs)

Next Class group
1.Class 6
2.Class 7
3.Class 8
(From 11 years to 14 years)

Finally,
1.Class 9
2.Class 10
3.Class 11
4.Class 12
( From 14 years to 18 years)

And thus the New NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY, 2020 aims to bring inclusive education by replacing the age old monotonous practices of choosing Arts, Science and Commerce stream after High School.

( Just a refresher course😊)

Hope this information helps out to some of you.

My child is 4 years and 2 months..I admitted her directly to nursery but school is complaining that she should study pre nursery.the course pf nursery is also.I m also a teacher but I feel its too much for a child

[tazeenpatel]

Ma'am my daughter's dob is 11 October 2020 (completed 3 yrs nd 3 mnths) and according to the NEP she's is eligible for nursery right...but the school which I have choose for her they are saying she's eligible for jr kg (school starts from April)... please tell me in which std I should have admit her

[livingworld]

Ma'am people are hiding their real DOB of their children. When they are 1st standard they are 8 years old , but on dob certificates they are showing age 6 years, is this good??

[womensclassroom]

My child will complete 3yrs on 24th June 2024. But, some schools are accepting admission for pre-nursary. Is it ok?

[srinidhi]

Mam my child is aug2021 born, as you said 2-3 years we can join him pre- nursery. Say I joined my lo on aug 2023 in playgroup, so by may2024 he will be moving to nursery as per preschool standards. By that time he might not complete 3 years, which is impacting on age criteria for joining 1st standard. How can I proceed in this situation..

[indianjaihind]

School academic year must starts from June onwards but not from April. Hence age criteria must calculate upto June 1 only

[MaheshNaidu]

Hi Madam, my kid DOB is 2 Apr 2019, but LKG admission age is 31 March 2019. We are based on Hyderabad, few schools are accepting and some of them are asking to join in pre school. If I admit my kid in LKG can cbse give permission without any issues in class 10.???

[shabhri]

Hi ma'am
Last Academic year 2023-24 my daughter took admission in pre nursery at that time her age was 2years 6months and school had no objection. Now they are saying that due to new education policy she has to repeat the class as her age will be 5.6years and the criteria to get in to 1st is 6years.
In class of 25 kids only 4 children are been detained. This is very disheartening didi. While rest class is promoted to LKG these 4 kids are asked to go to nursery.
Plz suggest.
If the school knew that this will happen then why did they enrolled my daughter at 2.6 years

[anandnataraj]

For joining in 1st std the kid should be 6 yrs old, meaning 6 yrs has to be completed or 5 yrs has to be completed?, totally confused how the age is even calculated

[aahanslittleworld]
