NETF is the guiding body for National Digital Educational Architecture (NDEAR). It acts as the blueprint for creating a unifying national digital infrastructure to energise and catalyse the entire education ecosystem. NDEAR takes on an ‘Open Digital Ecosystem’ approach, where a set of principles, standards, specifications, building blocks and guidelines seek to enable different entities to create elements of the digital education ecosystem, the Education Ministry said in a press release.
The Union Education Minister during the meeting called for leveraging technology to ensure accessible, affordable and quality education for all. He also stressed developing a high-quality course curriculum that can be delivered through technology. He further suggested that technology can also be deployed for carrying out the objective assessments.
The Minister said that NETF and NDEAR will provide required institutional governance and bring in greater accountability in the system. He said that a working group involving the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), University Grants Commission (UGC), National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) will work on the roadmap for NDEAR and NETF.
