Educational policies and their effect on students

Education is the most powerful weapon that helps in the overall development of students. It is a purposeful activity that needs some kind of rules and regulations to deliver the best facilities to learners. Every school or educational institution must follow educational policies to maintain a high-discipline environment. Let’s get a quick review of educational policies and their impact on students’ lives.

What do you mean by the term "educational policy"?

Educational policy refers to the principles and policy decisions that govern the operation of the education system. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for improving education in schools and universities. The policies are created at the state, local, and federal levels to adhere to certain standards that protect the physical and mental well-being of students. With the help of educational policy, schools can teach students in an efficient, fair, and safe environment. It has the potential to provide learners with a quality education that is inclusive and equitable, promoting high learning opportunities.

Why is educational policy important?

Educational policies are the bedrock on which a sustainable education system is built. Every educational organization is obligated to follow the law that allows them to work effectively and efficiently. It aims at increasing the skill and competency development of students. A need for educational policy is mandatory for all schools and colleges, as it keeps them within the framework of the law. It is necessary because:

It promotes an active learning culture.

It makes sure that the learning environment is not tainted by religious or political connotations.

The policy empowers educators to encourage the exchange of ideas, both formal and informal so that students can grow intellectually together.

By using some strategies, a distinction can be made between the inevitable costs and those that are unplanned.

1. Kothari Commission

The National Education Commission, popularly known as the Kothari Commission, was the foremost landmark of the education system in India. The Kothari Commission has three components that have proven beneficial in educational reforms: language formulas, remunerations, and scholarships. It consisted of visionary recommendations for marginalized learners that were highly recommended for the 10+2+3 schooling pattern.

2. National Education Policy (1968)

This policy has always been accorded a dignified place in the Indian education system. It was the first education policy that was rolled out in 1968, marking a significant step in the history of education in India. NEP 1968 was framed to equalize educational opportunities for all children up to the age of 14.

3. National Education Policy (1986)

NEP 1986 is another policy that was implemented to improve educational facilities for the masses. This policy covered various aspects that needed attention. NEP 1986 recommended a more comprehensive operational blackboard to improve the school infrastructure. Also, it focused on improving different areas like micro-planning, adult education, and non-formal schooling options.

4. National Curriculum Framework (2005)

NCF 2005 was introduced with a vision of the education system of the twenty-first century. The basic aim of this framework is to guide schools and learning institutions toward encouraging the development of all students. It highlighted the idea of a student-centric learning environment that can support them beyond textbooks and rote methods.

5. Right to Education (2009)

The Right to Education Act of 2009 adds a new dimension to India's educational reforms. It aims at providing free and compulsory education to all children between the ages of six and fourteen. The best part of this policy is that it made education a fundamental right. Furthermore, RTE has been a game changer in students’ lives as it prohibits all kinds of physical punishment and discrimination based on class, caste, or gender.

7. National Education Policy (2022)

The new NEP is based on four pillars: equity, access, quality, and accountability. This policy comes with a 5+3+3+4 structure, which comprises 12 years of school and three years of preschool. Additionally, it is a far-reaching and ambitious policy that seeks to modify the Indian education system.

How does a new educational policy affect students?

The main aim of EP is to create a collaborative and effective education system that improves the learning skills of students.

I need to see 1920s Kelsey, I need to see a young Kelsey excited about voting, taking care of her siblings, just living through the roaring twenties with all the responsibilities and dreams she had for her future. I need to see young woman Kelsey having to face the depression while being unmarried and keeping up with her education and goals.

About 20 tents went up on McGill's downtown campus Saturday in what students are calling an act of solidarity with the Palestinian cause, joining a wave of similar protests taking place across U.S. campuses amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. 

On Saturday afternoon, organizers could be heard asking over loudspeakers that as many people as possible stay at the encampment overnight. A larger group of demonstrators who had participated in a protest in downtown Montreal joined later, but many of them left campus by 7:30 p.m., the McGill University media relations department said in a statement sent Saturday.

Protesters are demanding McGill and Concordia universities "divest from funds implicated in the Zionist state as well as [cut] ties with Zionist academic institutions," according to a statement sent to CBC News by Zaynab Ali, a McGill student participating in the protest.

Ali was referencing a data set published on April 18 by McGill Hunger Strike for Palestine and Students for Justice in Palestine. It lists 50 companies that McGill University invests in that the organizations say are "complicit in upholding the apartheid regime of Israel." [...]

how do you feel about gen ed requirements in college majors?

Oooh, that's a good question, because I feel genuinely conflicted about it.

Cards on the table, I should say that I picked my undergraduate university precisely because it had a broad core curriculum of literature, philosophy, art, music, and science (and because it didn't require math) for all majors.

As a freshman, I had very wide-ranging interests and wasn't sure what I wanted to do for my major when I started, even though I started taking as many history electives as possible starting in my second semester. But even though I didn't need much time to "find myself," I still feel that the "well-rounded" education I received was good for my intellectual development, my ability to participate in society, and so forth.

And then there's the fact that my grad school career was entirely dependent on history classes being used as gatekeeping requirements for poli sci, communications, and sociology majors, which generated a steady demand for TA labor. So I do recognize that gen ed requirements are absolutely essential to the economics of many disciplines, and universities would have to rethink how they fund departments if they got rid of gen ed requirements altogether.

That being said, I do recognize that these kinds of requirements can also be really bad for students who are quite different from myself. As generations of students forced to take Physics for Poets or English for Engineers can testify, it can be legitimately frustrating for people who have a strength and an interest in an area that they want to develop that they can't specialize and instead have their academic success depend in part on their weakest subjects. Moreover, given the rise of tuition prices and student debt, every additional class a student has to take is more of a burden on their shoulders.

This is where I see a symptoms/cause long-term/short-term thing going on. Because of increasing competition, credentialism and credential inflation, and the increasing uncertainty about whether rising educational costs will be requited with secure employment at a professional income, I totally understand those people who want to make the college experience shorter and more specialized as a way to save money.

At the same time, if we ask ourselves why we provide education as a society (as opposed to making employers pay the bill for the training of their workforce), I go the other way. In order for modern democracy to function effectively, we need the population to have a baseline of quantitative reasoning so that they can tell when someone is lying with statistics, to be able to close-read texts so that they can tell when someone is lying with rhetoric, and to be sufficiently media-literate to spot propaganda and misinformation.

That being said, if we are going to say to young people that they have to acquire all these skills, the quid-pro-quo is that we have to provide education as a de-commodified public good, and guarantee a job to everyone, so that the economic incentives pushing us towards shorter, more specialized higher education no longer exist.
