For Indian schools
NEP 2020, minus the slogans.
Most vendors put the policy on a homepage as a badge. The useful question is narrower: what does it change about the records your school keeps, and can your software produce them?
The policy is broad and much of it is about pedagogy, buildings and teacher preparation — things software has no view on. A handful of it, though, lands directly on the school office as a record-keeping obligation, and that part is worth being precise about.
The parts that touch your records
Holistic progress, not one number
Assessment is meant to describe what a learner can do, across scholastic and co-scholastic areas, rather than reduce a term to a percentage. Report cards here carry both, and progress is shown as bands with a direction.
Competency rather than recall
Which means the record has to be per topic and per skill, not per examination. Mastery is tracked by topic, which is what makes a competency statement possible at all.
The 5+3+3+4 structure
Foundational, preparatory, middle and secondary stages, including the pre-primary years that were outside the school system before. Preschool is a first-class institution type here, not an afterthought.
Continuous rather than terminal
Regular low-stakes assessment through the year, which only works if taking it is cheap for a teacher. That is why practice and marks are designed around a minute, not an afternoon.
What we will not claim: that using Edustians makes a school NEP-compliant. Compliance is about what a school does. Software can make the records possible, and that is the honest limit of it.
Ask us the specific question.
If your board or your management has asked for something particular, tell us what and we will say whether the system produces it today.
