EuroSchool implements NEP in revised school curriculum 

EuroSchool, India's leading K12 school brand, has revised its school curriculum under the New Education Policy (NEP). The new curriculum for classes I to V focuses on ethical, rational and creative thinking in learners. This improvised curriculum which blends with NEP will be rolled out from the academic year 2021-22. It is based on the 7E instruction design principle i.e engage, explain, elaborate, explore, evaluate, extend and experience.

The content framework includes learning skills - critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication. The assessment of core concepts, higher-order skills and their applications in real-life situations through case studies and discussions are the highlights of this curriculum. Self-assessment and peer assessment will enable students to do regular SWOT analysis and work on their weaknesses and threats. EuroSchool has made these changes not just to the physical textbooks but also to their digital learning ecosystem - Argus.
