New Delhi:The National Curriculum Framework for Foundation Stage-2022 will be implemented starting with the academic year 2023–2024,  a statement by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reads.

CBSE announced in a formal notification that "According to the National Education Policy 2020's directive, the NCERT has developed NCFFS 2022, which outlines the competencies and learning outcomes, as well as general principles and approaches that should direct teaching and learning at the foundational stage. It acts as a template for educators to create curriculum, syllabi, and instructional materials that complement the country's educational objectives."

The CBSE further stated that under the new framework, the new structure of a five-year fundamental education programme from nursery to class two will be introduced in those schools that now provide foundational education to kids in the age range of 3 to 8 years during the session 2023–24.

The notification stated that NCFFS contains numerous examples and illustrations that are essential to its execution.
"They support learning, help to make new ideas more understandable to practising teachers, and explain abstract topics. Many illustrations are skillfully used to deepen comprehension, encourage participation, and give actual examples of how ideas might be applied in regular teaching. Therefore, it is crucial that teachers examine these examples and contextualise them in light of children's needs and settings "It said.

"Although schools offering classes I to X/XII may make steps to gradually increase the infrastructural needs to include pre-primary classes, schools presently operating foundational classes may continue to offer 3 years of pre-primary education," the CBSE further stated in the statement.
