UP to Implement ‘Learning by Doing’ Model | 29 Oct 2025

Why in News?

The Uttar Pradesh government has developed a comprehensive action plan to promote experiential and skill-based learning by introducing the ‘Learning by Doing (LBD)’ model across 3,288 government schools and District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) institutions in the state. 

Key Points 

• About: The initiative aims to make education more experiential, skill-driven, and future-oriented, replacing rote memorisation with a “learning by doing” approach. 
  • It aligns with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasises critical thinking, creativity, and innovation-driven learning. 
• Training Programme Details: The Basic Education Department will conduct train-the-trainer programmes to build teacher capacity. 
  • The training will be conducted in 66 residential batches, focusing on integrating classroom learning with experiments, projects, models, and real-life applications. 
• Objectives: 
  • To transform classrooms into spaces that encourage understanding, exploration, and discovery rather than memorisation. 
  • To equip teachers with practical teaching methods that foster creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking among students. 
  • To prepare learners for a skill-based, innovation-driven, and AI-powered economy. 
• Significance: 
  • The Learning by Doing model enhances active learning by allowing children to experiment, question, and explore solutions independently. 
  • It promotes curiosity, analytical ability, scientific outlook, expression, and problem-solving skills, transforming students from passive listeners to active learners. 
  • The initiative is expected to redefine the identity of basic education in Uttar Pradesh and set a benchmark for other states.
