The National Education Policy 2020 replaces the traditional 10+2 framework with a developmental 5+3+3+4 structure, emphasising equity, inclusivity and comprehensive student development. Salwan Public School, Mayur Vihar has restructured its pre-primary and primary curricula in line with the policy – prioritising creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving through an innovative, learner-centric approach.
Teachers integrate experiential learning and life skills into everyday teaching to nurture students’ cognitive, emotional, and social development. Skill-based subjects further equip learners with practical competencies, preparing them to thrive in an ever-evolving world. As the policy aptly reminds us, “Education is not merely about acquiring information–it is the art of shaping life itself.”
Assessment serves as a tool for reflection, timely feedback and continuous self-improvement – and our board results speak for themselves.
The assessment philosophy is rooted in active learning, experiential learning, and the courage to embrace challenges. Assessment practices evolve across each stage of learning–from the Happiness Curriculum in the early years to the academic rigour and board examination readiness of the senior school–ensuring that every learner progresses with confidence and purpose.
Embracing the principles of the Happiness Curriculum (HPC), we adopt an innovative pedagogy that prioritises emotional well-being, social-emotional learning, and self-awareness. Through experiential and joyful learning, young learners develop empathy, confidence, and interpersonal skills. Assessments are thoughtfully designed and reflected through a Holistic Progress Report Card, offering insights into emotional growth, creativity, and personal development.
We maintain a strong commitment to academic excellence and fair evaluation, adhering strictly to the Promotion Policy and Examination & Assessment Guidelines issued by the Directorate of Education (DoE). These guidelines ensure that our assessment practices remain transparent, inclusive, and aligned with holistic development goals.
To ensure long-term academic success, the school follows the policy mandated by the DoE, requiring students to meet minimum academic benchmarks for promotion. Students who do not meet the expected learning outcomes are offered targeted remedial support and a re-examination opportunity. In the interest of foundational mastery, those unable to meet the standards even after this support may be retained, reinforcing core competencies essential for future learning.
