The revamped national curriculum framework (NCF), that will enable and promote excellent learning and teaching in the nation by turning the objective of the NEP 2020 into practice in the classrooms and schools, is fundamental to the implementation of the revolutionary National Education Policy 2020. The national steering committee (NSC), led by Dr. K Kasturirangan, and backed by the mandate group, as well as the national council for educational research and training (NCERT), are guiding the growth of the NCF. The NCF for school education (NCFSE), the NCF for early childhood care and education (NCFECCE), the NCF for teacher education (NCFTE), and the NCF for adult education (NCFAE) are all included in the NCF.
