The Directorate of Education on Tuesday issued guidelines for the implementation of 10 bagless days across government and private schools in Delhi. In a circular, the DoE directed the heads of all schools to implement 10 bagless days in schools for students of classes 6 to 8.
The guidelines have been developed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) as per the recommendation of National Education Policy 2020 and are “aimed at making learning at school an experiential, joyful and stress-free experience for students,” the circular read.
“Activities may be carefully chosen to optimise the resources available at the school’s disposal. Bagless activities conducted during execution of Happiness Curriculum or excursion visits etc. may be included in bagless days,” added the Directorate of Education.
