This significantly shifted education to remote methods such as online schooling but since October 15, several schools have reopened partially. Even w, some states have decided to keep educational institutes shut in wake of resurgence of cases. 

board exams that h to be postponed mid-way were later cancelled and results were also anunced in an alternative assessment scheme. re have w been demands of postponing board exams to May since schools were continuously closed and teaching-learning activities were greatly impacted. However, Tripathi ted that common aim of all educational policies including NEP is shift to remote learning. He said, “ entire NEP 2020's thrust and main aim is to make a shift to skill and competency-based education.”

"We need to move students away from kwledge-based education to competency and skill-based learning. To implement skill-based, competency-based education re is a need to transform and follow entire pedagogy based teaching-learning process be it classroom teaching, face-to-face teaching or online teaching,” he said.

" pedagogy based teaching-learning process is more about making students more curious, invative, creative and providing m experiential learning and this can be achieved only when schools, teachers and principals change teaching pedagogy," he ded.
