Three Languages: What is the three language formula in the new education policy? What is its importance and how will it be implemented?

The three-language formula is a major change in the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This policy has been implemented by removing the education policy of 1986. It states that students will have to learn three languages, at least two of which should be Indian languages. However, some states, such as Tamil Nadu, have opposed this formula as they feel that it can lead to the forceful imposition of Hindi.

According to this formula, every student will have to learn three languages, and at least two of these should be Indian languages. This rule will apply to both government and private schools, but every state has been given the freedom to decide which languages ​​​​they will choose. Its main objective is to make students multilingual and strengthen the unity of India.

Will foreign languages ​​​​also be taught?

Yes, according to the new education policy, students will also get an opportunity to learn foreign languages ​​​​in addition to Indian languages ​​​​and English. From class VI to class XII, they can also learn Korean, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and other foreign languages. This will help them understand the culture of different countries of the world and the people living there. Also, this will increase their career opportunities.

What does the new education policy say?

The policy states that this formula will be implemented in school from the very beginning so that children can learn many languages ​​from a young age. It has also been clarified that no language will be forcibly imposed. States, regions, and students can choose the languages ​​of their choice. If a student wants, he can change his chosen language in class VI or VII.

But it will be necessary that he learns three languages ​​well by the time he completes secondary education. It will be mandatory to learn one of these languages ​​at a literary level.

Emphasis on recruitment of language teachers

The government has said that a large number of language teachers will be recruited across the country. In this, priority will be given to teachers of languages ​​​​included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. For this, mutual agreements will be made between different states, so that teachers can be appointed as per the requirement.

The three-language formula of the new education policy allows students to learn many languages. The government has made it clear that no language will be compulsory and the states will have complete freedom to choose the language.
