NEP 2020: A Long Haul

th
1986 Education Policy was the policy of 20 century. As per the
demand of the time, Education Policy was also required to be
changed. The society is like the two parts of a scale. Conservatives
who do not want any change and want this society to run in the same
stereotype manner because they can’t bake their chapattis if the new
model comes. They are fearful of any new change. The other part is the
part of liberals, they want to go ahead with the demand of the time. N.E.P
(new education policy)2020 which has been substantiated by cabinet government
last month has to cover a long way to turn into a law. A fresh language war has been
erupted over the new education policy 2020.Two leading parties of Tamil Nadu, DMK and AIDMK, have lashed
over central government. M.K Stalin,DMK chief, has also slammed the centre’s education policy. In a federal
system, any educational reform can be implemented only with the support from all the states, the centre has a
giant task of building a consensus. NEP chose to push three language formula to promote multilingualism and
national unity. Though the policy said that there will not be any imposition then also South Indian states are
calling it 'saddening and painful ‘and appeal to the Prime Minister to allow States to follow their one language
policy. These states are thinking that the policy is paving the way for Hindi to enter the state through back
door. Agitation of 1968 and refusal of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are the past examples of their indignation.
These States think that two language policy of Tamil and English has worked well in the state. The world is
being liberal day by day and English being a global language, can play a significant role. They feel that Hindi can
impede the proficiency of the people.IT,medical and science and research sectors are attributed to the English
fluency. Having consensus of these States would not be easy for NEP.India’s Federal nature and diversity
demand that no regional language is given Supremacy over another.Only time would tell what would be the
fate of NEP 2020.
