The effect of the tension with China, the government will not teach Chinese language in school

New delhi date. Saturday, August 1, 2020

The vision of the Ministry of Education officials is not clear as to whether Chinese should be taught to children in India under the new National Education Policy (NEP). The effect was seen when the Ministry of Education, formerly known as the Ministry of Human Resource Development, presented a draft of a new education policy to the media. It mentioned Chinese among the languages ​​taught to children but now the final report uploaded on the website of the Ministry of Education does not discuss Chinese.

The final report of the new education policy was uploaded on the website of the Ministry of Education on Thursday, according to a report received by sources in the Ministry of Education. Earlier, when the report was given to the media, it mentioned teaching Chinese to children at the secondary level. The report said, "Apart from high quality courses in Indian languages ​​and English, foreign languages ​​such as Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian will also be made available for the purpose of study at a secondary level. Knowing about cultures and according to one's interests and aspirations, one can easily increase one's global knowledge and travel around the world. '

But when the report was uploaded on the website of the Ministry of Education, the lines described above were the same but the Chinese language was removed from the language list. An official reply has been sought from the policy committee of the education ministry but no reply has been received yet.
