Dear Abhijit,

The world expects you to be an excellent communicator, and, in English. Also, young children pick up multiple languages very fast - it is us adults who find it difficult and then apply our experience in making policies.

I feel that in the primary level there should be an emphasis on teaching good communication - speaking (and listening), writing (and comprehension), the other myriad ways of getting your point across (playacting, presentations, extempore speeches, use of multimedia(sketchnotes!); perhaps at least in English, Hindi and the local language. Not only would this stand in good stead in the future, it will also get children interested in learning.

Dear Abhijit Sir,

The NEP 2020 seems a very well-conceived policy to me. But so were some in the past like the Jan-Dhan Scheme, demonetization, GST, and the lockdown owing to the pandemic. Their motives were to bring a change (considering the big picture), but the execution - laymen's, bankers', and migrant workers' plight said/says it all. This implies that before launching the NEP 2020, we rather need a good policy for quality execution of all the good ideas generated so far, as well as for the upcoming ones.

Thank you for the content! :)
