The three-language formula in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has once again become a topic of debate, especially due to Tamil Nadu’s opposition. NEP 2020 has replaced the 1986 education policy after years of discussions. However, the policy’s emphasis on a three- language system has reignited discussions, particularly regarding concerns over the imposition of Hindi. The NEP recommends that students learn three languages, at least two of which are native to India. This formula applies to both government and private schools, giving states the flexibility to choose languages without any imposition. Will foreign languages be offered? In addition to Indian languages and English, students at the secondary level can also learn foreign languages like Korean, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and others. This will help them learn about different cultures, broaden their global knowledge, and enhance their future prospects. The policy states that from the implementation stage, both the central and state governments will invest heavily in hiring a large number of language teachers in all regional languages across the country. This effort will focus particularly on languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
