PM Modi, 'National Education Policy 2020' to alleviate stress
The list of marks has become ambitious for parents. Modi said. He said that teaching education in the mother tongue would make it easier to understand things and gain more knowledge. The Prime Minister was speaking at the Shiksha Parv Conference organized by the Union Ministry of Education on ' School Education in the 21st Century '.
Also, Modi opined that education should not be limited to just classrooms and that students should be able to acquire versatile knowledge by adopting innovative methods in teaching.
Explaining the need for a NEP-2020, he said the Indian education system has remained unchanged for the past three decades. ‘There has been a lot of discussions in the language of instruction since the adoption of NEP-2020. Language is just a tool to gain knowledge ... Language is not knowledge said the Prime Minister. People who are limited to just the knowledge of books. Think that this important difference is not noticed. He said that if any language is taught, children will learn easily ... it is the same teaching language.
He said that in countries like Japan, Ireland, Poland, Finland, and South Korea, primary education is conducted in the mother tongue. That is why the new national education system suggests that the language of instruction should continue in the mother tongue until at least the fifth grade.
