NEP 2020 Tamil Nadu Govt Rejects ‘3 Language Formula: One provision in the new National Education Policy, NEP 2020 has stirred a political storm in the state of Tamil Nadu. The NEP has proposed a three-language formula wherein the specific provision reads that, “The three languages learned by children will be the choices of States, regions, and of the students, so long as at least two of the three languages are native to India.”

This proposal laid down in the NEP 2020 has been opposed by the Tamil Nadu government. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr. Palaniswami stated that, “The three-language formula in the NEP is painful and saddening. The Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) should reconsider the three-language policy.” He further added that, “Tamil Nadu will never allow the Centre’s three-languages policy. The state will continue with its dual language policy.” He also stated that the decision on the above matter should be allowed to be made by the state governments in respective states.

All Political Parties in Tamil Nadu Oppose The Decision

The Chief Minister was forced to make a statement on this issue after a scathing attack by the opposition on the government. The principal opposition party DMK also stated that the government should stick to the two-language policy and reject the three-language policy proposed in NEP 2020. The opposition parties also asked the Chief Minister to pass a cabinet resolution in this regard. The chief minister then convened a high-level meeting wherein he discussed the matter with his colleagues and minister including the Deputy Chief Minister, O Panneerselvam, School education minister K A Sengotaaiyan, and Higher education minister K P Anbalagan.

Opposition to Imposition of Hindi and Sanskrit Under NEP 2020

The main point of contention regarding NEP 2020 in Tamil Nadu is that the above provision is being seen as an attempt to impose Hindi and Sanskrit on the Tamil people. The state has historically been against the imposition of Hindi and Sanskrit in school curriculum and the roots of the Dravidian movement are also found in this opposition which gave rise to many noted politicians in the state. The state government had opposed this provision when the NEP 2020 came for review and had written a letter to the Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi registering the opposition of the ruling party as well as the opposition parties of Tamil Nadu.

The decision to not re-open the schools has been taken after detailed consultations with the states and the union territories. The state governments and officials expressed their apprehensions regarding the reopening of schools as the threat of COVID-19 cases would rise exponentially, once the educational institutions are re-opened. The decision on reopening of schools would be taken only after consultations with various stakeholders and assessment of the situation.

Government Explains The Rationale Behind The Decision

When questioned about the decision of foreign countries to gradually re-open the schools, the senior officials from the government explained the reason behind the decision to not open the schools in India. A senior officer stated that, “Indian schools are not merely the sophisticated larger brick structures – they are also these small schools where students huddle together in small villages. Check | New Education Policy 2020 Highlights: School And Higher Education to See Major Changes

As such, opening schools may simply lead to an exponential increase in the already rapidly increasing number of cases.” Unless the spread of the pandemic comes under control, the government will be wary of reopening the schools and colleges as social distancing would be difficult to implement in these places.

Safety of the students is paramount

While many schools in Europe and China are gradually returning to normalcy, Indian administration is still apprehensive regarding the reopening of the schools and has put the safety of students as paramount. While undoubtedly the loss of the academic year is a serious matter, it cannot compare with the importance of the safety of the students.

Social interactions at schools and colleges will put the safety of the students and other staff members at risk. The parents have expressed agreement with the decision of the government, school and college management and teachers are eagerly awaiting the return to normalcy, which might take some time to materialize.

New Education Policy 2020: With the nod from the union cabinet, the New Education Policy 2020 came into effect. This announcement marks a watershed moment in the education sector as it envisages significant reforms in the education sector with more focus on non-academic skills and increasing the inclusion of students. While introducing the New Education Policy 2020, union minister Prakash Javdekar stated that, “Cabinet under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given approval to new education policy for the 21st century. It is important, as for 34 years there were no changes in the education policy.” He also informed the media that the government has decided to rename the Ministry of Human Resource Development as the Education Ministry.
