Very useful pa 👏, but is there any issues regarding implementation of this policy 🤔??? Why most of them objected this policy particularly in tamilnadu (other than language)???also pa please clarify pa(if you wish 😅), on what basis it is better than the previous policy and what India would bore in future through this policy pa 😅???
ReplyDeleteActually in my point of view, this is a gooooood move eventhough it has a lot of challenges in implementation..
Delete1) The first thing is the medium of Language-
I could say English could be a medium but with vernacular touch. English being blended with vernacular language is quite acceptable. See.. There is a challenge in translating all the subjects into student's regional language.
Apart from that, Students will switch to and use English as their conversational language in future so studying their subjects in regional language upto class 5th, how will they adapt to English?
2) Vocational training- I appreciate this one!!When it is made mandatory, It is hands on. Children will love it..They will be involved and engaged in learning but while coming to infrastructure and set up- it is a great challenge. The risk factor in taking children out to different places and there is a overhead on parents to pay fees.
3) Coding- Children who don't have access to laptops and Systems will find it difficult to learn coding at home. And do you only 22% of schools in India have computer facilities in their schools and among that only 19% of the schools have internet facilities. And there is a need for a teacher who knows coding.
I have discussed only three issues- Govt has to ensure hope to parents that apart form marks this could help children in improving their self.
Also Govt has to train teachers and have to appoint more teachers in future.
Parent's cooperation and belief on Govt will make it a success. State Govts have to think about it.........
Hope u find it useful
Thank you pa...very useful .... All points are strong pa 🤗
