GRADE IX to XII
At the Upper stage education (grades 9th to 12th) as per NEP-2020 RDS aims to provide a comprehensive and well-balanced curriculum that prepares students for higher education and the challenges of the modern world.
The focus is on promoting critical thinking, analytical skills, and in-depth subject knowledge. The upper stage education continues to follow a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of knowledge. Practical and experiential learning is encouraged to foster a deeper understanding of concepts. Assessments shift towards competency-based evaluations, focusing on application-oriented learning rather than rote memorization. This stage also introduces career counseling and skill development, empowering students to make informed decisions about their future academic and professional paths.
