Piaget's cognitive development theory is constructive in nature. According to this child is born with some cognition and teacher, school facilitate only. Child is the center of education. Curriculum should be designed on the basis of need, interest, ability, style of learning of child. It also gives importance on individual differences. These are the contribution of Piaget's theory of cognitive development. And these are reflected on National Education Policy -2020.
