Arts education in School curriculum: Present and Future Trends and Issues 

 The National education policy, 2020, stresses the promotion of holistic and multidisciplinary education to develop the intellectual, aesthetic, social, physical, emotional and moral capacity of learners. Arts have had an important role to play both as a subject to promote artistic, aesthetic and creative skills and also as a pedagogical tool for experiential and joyful learning among the K 12 students. The NEP has emphatically stressed the importance of a learner outcome-based curriculum framework concerning curricular expectations. The present research examines the national school curriculum in arts against this background. The paper explores current trends in combining learner outcomes with assessment and envisages a standardized framework for arts education in the country.
