Primary Education is now available in 22 languages

Through NEP now Primary education is available in 22 languages, previously it was only in three Hindi, English, and Urdu.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has proposed that primary education should be made available in the mother tongue or local language as far as possible. This move aims to ensure that children are able to comprehend and learn better in a language that they are familiar with.
As per the NEP, primary education will now be available in 22 languages, which includes the three languages mentioned by you - Hindi, English and Urdu, as well as other languages such as Bengali, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, and others.

This move is expected to benefit millions of students across the country, especially those who come from marginalized and economically weaker sections of society, who often struggle to learn in a language that is not their mother tongue. By making education available in multiple languages, the NEP aims to promote inclusive education and provide equal opportunities for all students to learn and succeed.

I welcome NEP 2020 in which many changes have been made for the full development of the students. The main change which has been made is that primary education will be provided in the mother tongue. We must provide primary education in the mother tongue so that students can understand the concept easily.

Nowadays, parents want to admit their children to English medium schools. It is good but sometimes the children are not capable of to adjust in the atmosphere. We should know that the burden of the English language can harm the development of students.

So, now according to NEP 2020, the medium of instruction in every school up to the primary level would be mother tongue and it would really help the students to learn the concept easily.

Honesty is the best policy.

I feel NEP 2020 is much better than the system we have before NEP. As mentioned by the member, primary education should be in the mother tongue. Then the student will understand the concept in a better way. Higher studies should be in English.
Going for an English medium in primary education is not advisable. A kid can understand the concept well if it is taught in their mother tongue. At the same time, there should a chance for the student to select his own medium of instruction. Recently the Government of Andhra Pradesh wanted only English medium in all government schools. Many parents are worried and go to court and the court gave a stay and presently Telugu Medium is also continuing.
But higher studies should be in English medium only preferable. Otherwise, books in other languages are not available and getting study material will become an issue.

It is definitely a big step. Making education available in local languages will help many students to learn in their mother tongue. There are many students who cannot learn in English because of obvious reasons. So, for them learning in their own language will now be a pleasant experience.
NEP is bringing many new things in our education system and this is one of them.

Knowledge is power.

Dear Indu Ma'm,

The proposal of making primary education available in the mother tongue or local language is a step in the right direction towards promoting inclusive and accessible education. Studies have shown that children are able to comprehend and learn better when they are taught a language that they are familiar with, especially at the primary level.

By making education available in multiple languages, the NEP is also promoting linguistic diversity and preserving the cultural heritage of different regions in India. This move is expected to benefit students from marginalized and economically weaker sections of society, who often face linguistic barriers in accessing education.

However, there may be some challenges in implementing this policy, such as the lack of trained teachers who are proficient in teaching in different languages, and the need for developing appropriate teaching materials and curriculums in multiple languages.

Overall, the proposal to make primary education available in multiple languages is a positive step toward promoting inclusive and accessible education, and it has the potential to benefit millions of students across India.
