Grade 6 is a crucial step in child learning path. As the child does a transition from primary school to secondary school, school syllabus become more detailed and comprehensive. It is also the time when foundation is laid for courses for higher education with more focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and starts of vocational course programs. As child has become familiar with basic concepts of languages (reading, writing and speaking) and understand basic mathematics and science terms, Grade 6 and onwards is time to introduce tougher things in child’ learning path. In the New Education Policy 2020, Grade 6-8 has been identified as the middle stage of learning which will focus on the experiential learning in the school subjects including Mathematics, Science, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities. Schools will use formative assessments to test conceptual clarity, critical thinking and higher-order thinking skills.
