#NEP2020
Kindergarten culture which is presently not accessible for the poor & name sake activities only in Anganwadi is already causing a division in the society.

Midday meals system will be continued.
Breakfast will be added to the scheme. #NEP2020
Curricular framework for school education will be revised by a 5 + 3 + 3 + 4 design

*Preparatory (Grades 3-5),
*Middle (Grades 6-8), and
*High school (Grades 9-12)

The key overall thrust of curriculum and pedagogy reform across all stages will be to move the education system towards real understanding and learning how to learn - and away from the culture of rote learning as is present today https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">

Nothing like that anywhere in NEP....the word Hindi only appears once in document & doesn& #39;t have any relevance.

But there is a thrust on regional languages ...especially classic languages https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">
