The New Education Policy says that all students will participate in a 10-day bagless period sometime between grades 6 to 8. During this period, the students will intern with local vocational experts such as carpenters, gardeners, potters, artists etc.
Bagless Days:
The New Education Policy (NEP) proposes exposing at least 50 per cent learners to vocational education. The policy says that students would be exposed to vocational subjects as early as grade 6. NCERT will also frame a practice-based curriculum for Grades 6 to 8.
"Every student will take a fun course, during Grades 6-8, that gives a survey and hands-on experience of a sampling of important vocational crafts, such as carpentry, electric work, metal work, gardening, pottery making, etc., as decided by States and local communities and as mapped by local skilling needs," chalks out the policy.
