Have co-authored this brief on #ECCE with @Satish_Kr_Rai where we try to highlight some major legal tenets, driving as well as obstructing the effective implementation of ECCE in India. We revisit #NEP 2020 but stress on legal recourse to ensure a child’s right to ECCE

I have been asked by Oxford University Press and the International Review of Education, Springer publishing journal to pay for the right to distribute articles that I wrote myself! How/why do academics tolerate this kind of exploitation? Enough is enough! @lesliekwchan

Contributing to the limited discourse,the panel raised some critical ques. that need to be addressed for before creating this new body. In my part, I largely focused on the regulatory & legal design elements that are crucial to the integrity and independence of this body.

'The National Credit Framework (NCrF) is remarkable in many senses. This is one of the first initiatives which gives equal recognition to curricular, co-curricular and vocational education,' writes Vidhi's @PoojaPandey02 Read the article here: https://t.co/HvGXUASego

[Pooja Pandey @PoojaPandey02]

The National Credit Framework(NcRF) is interesting for many reasons, especially in its approach to remove any hard separation between vocational & academic education. Here’s my rudimentary take on NcRF, which is still evolving.
