The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) has brought the most transformative changes to Indian education in decades. It focuses on holistic, flexible, multidisciplinary learning, skill development, reduced curriculum load, and integration of technology — moving away from rote memorization toward true understanding and 21st-century readiness.
At Dolphin Public School, Muzaffarpur, we proudly embraced NEP 2020 from the very beginning. As one of the leading CBSE schools in the region, we have aligned our entire teaching-learning process with the new policy guidelines, making us a model institution for progressive CBSE education & pedagogy in Bihar.
Key Principles of NEP 2020 We Follow
Here are the major NEP 2020 recommendations that we actively implement at Dolphin Public School:
- Foundational Literacy & Numeracy by Grade 3
Special focus on reading, writing, and basic math in early classes through joyful, activity-based methods. - Multilingualism & Mother Tongue Advantage
Encouraging use of Hindi and regional language alongside English to strengthen conceptual clarity. - Holistic & Multidisciplinary Learning
Breaking silos between subjects — blending arts, science, sports, and vocational skills for well-rounded growth. - Experiential & Competency-Based Education
Moving from marks-centric to skill-centric evaluation through projects, hands-on activities, and real-life applications. - Technology Integration & Digital Literacy
Early introduction of digital literacy and computer science, supported by modern labs and smart classrooms.
How We Bring NEP 2020 to Life Every Day
Our classrooms and curriculum reflect NEP’s vision in practical ways:
- Play-based & Activity-driven Learning
Especially in primary grades, we use games, experiments, and stories to make concepts stick naturally, in line with NEP foundational stage guidelines. - Reduced Content Load with Deeper Understanding
We teach fewer topics but in much greater depth — giving time for concept mastery instead of rushing through syllabus. - Project Work & Inquiry-Based Learning
Students regularly work on interdisciplinary projects that connect science, math, social studies, and arts — just like our integrated lab activities. - Continuous & Stress-Free Assessment
Our performance without pressure system uses portfolios, observations, quizzes, and presentations instead of heavy term-end exams. - Vocational & Skill Exposure
Early introduction to coding, robotics, financial literacy, and basic life skills as per NEP recommendations.
These efforts are supported by our highly trained faculty who continuously upgrade their skills through professional development programs — one reason our teachers are considered the best in Muzaffarpur.
