Draft National
Education Policy: last day for feedback is now July 31
The deadline
for giving feedback on the draft National Education Policy (NEP) 2019 has been
extended by a month to July 31, 2019.
The draft
NEP 2019 has already been revised once.
The first
draft had made teaching of Hindi mandatory in the non-Hindi speaking States
under a three-language formula. However, the draft was later revised as the
plan, seen as imposition of Hindi, led to protests in the south, particularly
Tamil Nadu.
“The study
of three languages by students in Hindi-speaking States would continue to
include Hindi and English and one of the modern languages from other parts of
India, while the study of languages by students in non-Hindi speaking States
would include the regional language, Hindi and English,” it had read.
Revised draft
The revised
draft reads: “Since the modular board examinations for language proficiency
will indeed test only for basic proficiency in each language, such a change in
choice in Grade 6 would certainly be feasible if the student so desires and
would in such cases be supported by teachers and the schooling system.”
It further
said additional choices of languages will be offered in middle school to offer
greater flexibility.
