Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) have
showed positive learning outcomes include, among other things,
increased critical thinking abilities, higher order thinking and
deeper learning, mastery of content, problem solving, team
work and communication skills besides general engagement and
enjoyment of learning
The direction of the global education development agenda is reflected in
the sustainable development goal 4 (SDG4) of the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development. SDG4 seeks to “ensure inclusive and
equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all” by 2030. Five of the seven targets of SDG4 focus on
quality education and learning outcomes
Brookings Institution have highlighted the broad consensus that
has developed. Students must develop not only cognitive skills -
both ‘foundational skills’ of literacy and numeracy and
‘higher-order’ cognitive skills such as critical thinking and
problem solving skills - but also social and emotional skills, also
referred to as ‘soft skills’, including cultural awareness and
empathy, perseverance and grit, teamwork and leadership,
among others.
I ntern ation al B ackgrou n d
All learners should become more
academically, socially and emotionally competent
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL).
Learning to know -
acquiring a body of
knowledge and learning
how to learn, so as to
benefit from the
opportunities education
provides throughout life;
Learning to do -
acquiring not only an
occupational skill but also
the competence to deal
with many situations and
work in teams, and a
package of skills that
enables one to deal with
the various challenges of
working life;
Learning to live together
- developing an
understanding of other
people and an appreciation
of interdependence in a
spirit of respect for the
values of pluralism, mutual
understanding and peace;
Learning to be -
developing one’s
personality and being able
to act with autonomy,
judgement and personal
responsibility, while
ensuring that education
does not disregard any
aspect of the potential of a
person: memory, reasoning,
aesthetic sense, physical
capacities and
communication skills
2

The narrow time lag between the generation of
new knowledge and its application, especially in
the fields of science and technology, necessitate
the periodic renewal of school and higher
education curricula to maintain their relevance
to the changing societal and personal needs of
learners, and the emerging national
development goals.
Globalisation and the demands of a
knowledge economy and a knowledge society
call for emphasis on the need for acquisition of new
skills by learners on a regular basis, for them to ‘learn
how to learn’ and become lifelong self learners.
National Background
India aspires to take its place beside the United
States and China as the third largest economy by
2030-2032, the same period during which this
Policy will bring about the biggest
transformation.
India is the sixth largest economy now and we
will reach five trillion in five-seven years
taking us to fourth or fifth position.
By 2030-2032 we will be the third largest
economy at over ten trillion. Our ten trillion
economy will not be driven by natural resources,
but by knowledge resources.

Learning in Higher Education
it involves
 development of analytical and other intellectual skills,
 the ability to critically deconstruct and evaluate given knowledge, and
the creativity to make new connections and syntheses.
 to acquire practical skills,
 explore, inquire, seek solutions to complex problems,
learn to work in teams and more.
 All these by and large assume direct human engagement – not just
teacher-student interaction, but also peer interactions, including
informal ones.
 Learning often happens through osmosis in social settings.
