It emphasizes competency-based education, multidisciplinary learning, continuous assessment, local context and culture, and teacher empowerment among other areas. 

As per the new framework, social science will have 20 percent content at the local level, 30 percent at the regional level 30 percent at the national level, and 20 percent at the international level. 

Doing away with the rote learning method, the new framework recommends skill development and values cultivation.  It also focuses on the holistic development of students, not just confining them to the textbook knowledge.

If implemented in total, Class X and XII might have exams twice in the academic year as the NCF – 2023 pitches for the semester system of the examination.
