The Story in Brief
A parliamentary panel has told the Lok Sabha that schools were not given enough time to prepare for the third language requirement from Class 6 under the National Education Policy 2020. The Committee on Estimates noted that recruitment of language staff, availability of study materials, and clarity on language selection caused stress to students, teachers, parents, and school authorities.
The panel recommended the Ministry of Education expedite textbook development, help state boards recruit teachers for native languages, and ensure translated materials and 'Jaadui Pitara' kits reach rural and government schools before each academic session.
The Indian Opinion
The committee's report is a reality check for those who claim the NEP rollout is smooth. The ministry has indeed created resources like Jaadui Pitara kits and translated textbooks, but school-level stress shows the gap between policy and ground execution. The usual blame game between Centre and states will not help. The real test: can the ministry ensure every rural school has the required language teacher and textbook by the start of the next academic session?
