Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday said the country’s northeast, where people speak in at least 180 different languages, epitomize diversity, and Assam, being the gateway to the region, will be made a “laboratory” for mother tongue-based education.
Praising the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Pradhan said it has amplified the importance of imparting lessons in the native language, especially at the primary level.
“The NEP is a unifying factor in stimulating Indian knowledge systems, regional languages, art and culture. It is focused on developing desired learning competencies right from the pre-primary level, equipping students with 21st century knowledge and skills and preparing our youth to become global citizens,” the minister said after inaugurating a two-day North-East Education Conclave here. He further said that the Centre is striving to ensure parity in educational opportunities across the country, and to that end, a roadmap for creating ’Special Education Zones’ is being prepared.
