PM Modi Live speech today on National Education Policy NEP 2020: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today hailed the newly unveiled National Education Policy 2020 saying the NEP 2020 focuses on inquiry-based, discovery-based, and analysis-based methods to help children learn.
PM Modi has also said the past National Education Policies used to encourage herd mentality and emphasized on ‘What to think’ whereas the NEP 2020 stresses on ‘How to think’. PM Modi said a new global standard is rising and it has become essential for India to change its education system accordingly. PM Modi said the NEP 2020 is a step in this direction.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the new National Education Policy focuses on ‘how to think’, while the education system till now in the country emphasized on ‘what to think’.
PM Modi said that through NEP, India will transform its students into global citizens who are rooted in their values. “In recent years, there have not been major changes in education and thus the values of curiosity and imagination were not given the thrust. Instead, we moved towards a herding community. The mapping of interest, ability, and demand was needed. We need to develop critical thinking and innovative thinking abilities in our youths. It will be possible if we have purpose, philosophy, and passion of education,” he added.
हर विद्यार्थी को, Student को ये अवसर मिलना ही चाहिए कि वो अपने Passion को Follow करे।
वो अपनी सुविधा और ज़रूरत के हिसाब से किसी डिग्री या कोर्स को Follow कर सके और अगर उसका मन करे तो वो छोड़ भी सके: PM @narendramodi
