It is a brave and ambitious policy that aims to drastically alter the educational system. The result of which we will see in the next 10 or 20 years. The policy intends to modernize India’s educational system and bring it up to par with global norms.

The New Education Policy includes vocational education. Up until the fifth year of school, it comprises teaching both the mother tongue and regional languages.
Students can learn in all the three languages i.e., in Hindi English and their local language. The new policy is more focusing on core concept and vocational education. New policy will include technology in education system to make easy approachable to every student and effective. It imagines a framework where there’s no qualification between country and urban regions, and all children have got to quality education.

The next two years the student (age between 6 to 8) will go for 1st and 2nd class. So, the first 5 years was count as foundation level in which basic skills were developed in the students.
