Former UGC Chairperson Supports CBSE's Three-Language Policy Under NEP 2020
Former UGC chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar endorsed CBSE's three-language policy under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, highlighting multilingualism as an educational advantage in India's linguistically diverse context. He emphasized that the scheme, which has a long history, promotes learning in a familiar language before introducing others. The policy requires students to learn three languages, with at least two being Indian languages, and allows foreign languages as an option. The focus is on functional language use to build confidence rather than immediate mastery.
