National Education Policy 2020 is a roadmap for global citizenship, recognising all Indian languages as national languages with a view to fostering innovation and research, Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister for Education, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said in Thanjavur on Sunday.
NEP 2020 recognises the positive impact of the mother tongue in fostering critical thinking and innovation; Tamil and all other local languages in the country have been recognised as 'Bharat Basha' for infusing clarity of thought in the learning process, the Minister said, addressing the 36th Convocation of SASTRA Deemed to be University.
The NEP 2020 factors in the potential of mother tongue in terms of teaching methodology and learning outcomes, he said.
