Latest instructions, NCF-2023-National Education Policy (NEP) Asked as part of the implementation of 2020-as per the official statement, the original stage (pre-primeri grade 2, age 3-8) lays strong emphasis on the use of “home languages” or mother tongue.
What does CBSE instruction say?
The latest instructions of the Education Board have emphasized the following:
1. Mother tongue – R1
The instructions have emphasized that the language has been most familiar to the child – which is the mother tongue – ideally should be used as both the language and instructions (MOI) for all subjects. It aims to build strong basic literacy and understanding skills by taking advantage of the current linguistic and cultural knowledge of children.
If it is not possible to apply the mother tongue due to factors such as the diversity of the class or lack of written tradition, the policy allows R1 to be the state language, provided that it is familiar to the child.
2. Bilingual approach – R2
Apart from R1, children will also be introduced in R2, a second spoken language, which will gradually introduce them to multilingual learning. However, formal literacy goals – such as the flow of reading, sentence construction and expression – will originally focus on R1 during originally the original years.
At the end of Grade 2, students are expected to read fluently and understand the texts in R1, and start writing simple sentences to describe their experiences and surroundings.
Options for the medium of instruction in the initial stage
For the preparation phase (Grade 3-5), the instructions said that at least one language native in India will be introduced as an alternative to all students up to Grade 12 to Grade 12. Schools, accordingly, need to provide this option in all classes starting from the preparation stage, if the primary Moi is not a language that is native to India.
