Marksheets Are ‘Pressure Sheets’ for Students: PM Modi on NEP 2020

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has advocated taking education out of the walls of schools. He has said that when education is combined with the surrounding environment, it affects the entire life of the student, it also affects the whole society. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has termed it unfair to measure the talent of students with marks and mark sheets. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that a test, a mark sheet, can be a parameter for children’s learning, their mental development? Today the truth is that marksheet has become a mental pressure sheet.

Underscoring the importance of fun, activity-based and experiential learning, PM Modi urged teachers to take students to the railway station, when explaining a subject on the railway on engines. Similarly, he suggested that students should be taken to safe factory units and agricultural fields, hospitals and other places to better understand the subjects they are being taught.
