TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Emphasising on the need to impart learning in a language that a student understands, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asked students to engage in critical thinking and study new things.
The Prime Minister said that the new ‘mantra’ for new-age learning is ‘Engage, Explore, Experience, Express, and Excel’. He was speaking at a two-day conclave on ‘School Education in 21st Century’ under the new National Education policy 2020.
“We have to take students forward in the 21st century with skills of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, curiosity and communication.”
He emphasised that a subject’s study should be undertaken in a language a student understands easily. That was the reason why many countries impart primary education in the children’s mother tongue.
“Education up to Class 5 should be in one’s mother tongue only, but it does not mean that no other languages can be taught,” Modi said.
