The Centre has told the Delhi High Court that it has inaugurated action for universalisation of education up to senior secondary level, as anticipated by the NEP 2020.
In its reply filed through Central Government Standing Counsel Anurag Ahluwalia mentioned that the schools under the Delhi Government and most of the private schools in Delhi are both affiliated with the CBSE. Therefore, there will not be a modification of the curriculum for these students. Hence, the students have the chance and facility for finishing their education up to senior secondary level.
It is mentioned that the Central Government under the centrally sponsored scheme of the Samagra Shiksha programs gives extra help to the States and UTs to attain Universal and quality education to pre-primary to higher secondary education.
The government further stated that the vision of the universalisation of education is to guarantee equitable and inclusive quality education from pre-school to the senior secondary stage in agreement with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for Education.
