Transforming Education: NITI Aayog’s Policy Roadmap for Schools
On May 6-7, 2026, NITI Aayog released a pivotal report titled “School Education System in India: Temporal Analysis and Policy Roadmap for Quality Enhancement.” The report provides a decade-long analysis of India's schooling and proposes a shift from a 'Pyramid' structure to a 'Cylindrical' model, where Grades 1 to 12 are integrated under one roof to ensure academic continuity and reduce dropouts.
Key Recommendations:
- Cylindrical Model: Grouping primary and secondary schools to share resources like science labs and libraries.
- Digital Infrastructure: Convergence of PM e-Vidya and BharatNet to create an interoperable digital public infrastructure for education.
- Funding: Recommends increasing education spending to 6% of GDP.
For TNPSC and Civil Services aspirants, this report is essential for the 'Education Policy' and 'Social Justice' modules.
