UP to implement Hindi plus four regional language formula under NEP 2020

Ahead of the National Education Policy 2020 rollout in the 2025-26 academic session, 4.5 lakh government school teachers and 1.45 lakh Shiksha Mitras have been trained in Foundational Literacy and Numeracy. Students coming out of classrooms Director general school education, Kanchan Verma, said that it’s been four years since the implementation of NEP 2020, and the basic education department has accomplished the task of introducing NCERT books in all government schools in a phased manner. While the Tamil Nadu government has locked horns with the Union government on the third language issue in implementing NEP 2020, the state basic education department, which is imparting free and compulsory education to students from classes 1 to 8, is not only promoting Hindi in the Hindi heartland but is also encouraging 1.5 crore students to develop proficiency in four regional languages too. Old books replacing new ones Old textbooks ‘Kalrav’ of Hindi, Mathematics and English for class 1 have been replaced with new books.
