He said it was an important task carried out by NDMC school students to create awareness about the G20 summit as well as its various aspects. The National Curriculum Framework for Foundation Stage (NCF-FS 2022) has been developed by the NCERT as per the mandate of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to outline the competencies and learning outcomes, general principles and approaches that should guide teaching and learning at the foundational stage.

The CBSE also has adopted the NCF-FS 2022 and the new structure of five-year education (Nursery to Class 2) will be introduced in the session 2023-24. The NCF-FS includes many examples and illustrations which play a critical role in its implementation and it helps to clarify abstract concept reinforce learning and makes new ideas more assessable to practising teaches, the NDMC said.
