Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing a conclave on “School Education in 21st Century” under the National Education Policy 2020 via video-conference. The Ministry of Education has organised the two-day conclave, which started on Thursday, as a part of the “Shiksha Parv”(education festival), which is being celebrated from September 8-25, to felicitate teachers and take the NEP forward.
While addressing the “School Education in 21st Century” under NEP 2020, Modi said that the new education policy is also a means of fulfilling new India, new expectations, new requirements. Behind it is the hard work of the last four-five years, people of every field, every genre, every language have worked on it day and night. But this work is not completed yet.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Education had asked teachers across the country for their suggestions on MyGov about implementing the National Education Policy. More than 1.5 million suggestions were received within a week. These suggestions will help implement the National Education Policy in a more effective way.

Our experiment should be the core of New Age Learning- Engage, Explore, Experience, The NEP has been designed in a way to reduce syllabus and focus on fundamental things. A National Curriculum. Framework will be developed to make learning integrated and Inter-Disciplinary, Fun Based and Complete Experience.
We need to understand one scientific thing that language is the medium of education, language is not all education. Whichever language the child can easily learn, learn things, the same language should be the language of learning.
