Language policy in National Education System

 

Language helps us to communicate and negotiate with others. It is the most crucial thing for living. Those who are not blessed with the power of speech use sign language for proper communication. India has a variety of languages as it is highly distinguised society which includes so many different types of people and cultures. It is obviously difficult to navigate through issues and daily life is there is no official language. Hence our National Education Policy comes into play.

Our National Education Policy encapsulates that three languages should be there in the course curriculum spreaded over different grades out of which two should be native and one official language. English and Hindi are the most widely spoken language used in India. In official spaces English is the most widely spoken and used. Hence, emphasis is always given on English. Higher education and those who pursue foreign degree learn English and they have to be highly proficient in this.

With the help of National Education Policy, students are guided and nurtured of the basics of communication language from a tender age which will give them the ability and talent to pursue education anywhere in the whole world and even get settled outside India. Having said that it is thus very crucial for the government to strengthen literacy in all parts of the country, specially in the rural region. If proper steps are taken, India will soon become a leading expert in almost every sectors ranging from medical, defense and research & development.
