The new education policy in India introduces a 5+3+3+4 structure consisting of 12 years of schooling and 3 years of pre-school/Anganwadi education. It aims to develop a national curriculum and pedagogical framework for early childhood education up to age 8. Key aspects include two years of primary school (classes 1-2) after 3 years of Anganwadi/pre-school, celebrating National Education Day on November 11th, and Savitribai Phule establishing India's first school for girls in 1848.
