Holistic Changes Through NCF Guidelines for Schools
The NCF for Early Childhood Care and Education is one of the four NCFs and the only one released to date. It is very important as the foundation should always be rock solid. The aim of NCF is not just to change the curriculum content or pedagogy but bring a holistic change in school education. It is the teacher who will ultimately be the torchbearer for the changes that NCF seeks, and school owners are the ones who will push for these changes.

NCF for Early childhood Care and Education Guidelines: Positive Transformation of School Education
This NCF is based on cutting-edge research from across the world in multiple disciplines like neurosciences, brain study, and cognitive sciences to bring in positive effects. The following are the NCF guidelines for transforming the quality of school education:
- Physical development: The students should have fit & flexible bodies, develop sharpness in sensorial perceptions, and have a holistic awareness of their experiences.
- Socio-emotional and ethical development: Students should develop emotional intelligence and understand & respond positively to social norms in the classroom and school.
- Cognitive development: There should be an appropriate use of tools and technology in daily life situations for learning and developing logical thinking. Students should also be able to develop abilities to recognise the world through quantities, shapes, and measures.
- Language and literacy development: Students should have effective communication skills for day-to-day interactions in any two languages. They should be fluent in reading & writing one language while having basic reading & writing ability in the second.
- Aesthetic and cultural development: Opportunities for children to develop abilities and sensibilities in visual and performing arts and develop positive learning habits to engage actively in formal learning environments like a school classroom.
But these guidelines will be effective only when the school owners implement them appropriately in their schools, bring in infrastructure that makes these guidelines a reality and train the teachers to transform school education accordingly.
