• Negative nd Controversial points for New Education Policy 2020
• NEP 2020 -MORE THEORITICAL AND LESS PRACTICAL
• It changes things theoritically.BUT TO APPLY THEM PRACTICALLY IN REAL LIFE IS GOING TO BE A VERY LONG NAD DIFFICULT.Because there are many government schools like this.Where there is no teacher for the children of 5 grade and no sound infrastucture is available in the schools.
• They exit quickly.There are many government schools with a severe shortage of available teachers .so they are going to give vocational training and give children a choice of different types of subjects.It ssems impossible to give all this because this is another point of criticism because all these superficial chngs.IN MY OPINION , THIS IS LEGAL POINY OF CRITICISM AND IT HAS TO BE SEEN , HOW MUC THESE POLICIES ARE IMPLEMENTED, AND WHAT CHANGES ARE ACTUALLY SEEEN AT THE GROUND LEVEL.
• 
  
  

This new policy has been criticize the most on the point of language.

1. This policy reads that whereas possible the medium of instruction till 5th grade and preferably till class 5th and beyond will be the home language,local language or the regional language.
2. Thats is the education of the child untill 5 th grade should be in home language,mother language,and regional language.
3. It is nowhere written that doing so is compulsory,but those who criticize it say that this will force the schools to not teach in english and instead teach in regional languages which will not be beneficial for most of the people.
4. Imagine,if we say u live in kerala and your child has studied untill xclass 4th in kerala, there upon you shift to maharastra, most of the schools would teach in marathi in maharastra and ur child will not be able to adjust at that time to study in marathi language.
5. This woild restrict the movement of the people from one state to anotherand this might have a deterimenatl effect. 
6. IT IS WRITTEN IN THE POLICY THAT NO LANGUAGE WOULD BE FORCED.
7. IN MY OPINION IT IS IMPORTANT TO GIVE PRIORITY TO ENGLISH BECAUSE TODAY  IN A WAY HAS BECOME A  GLOBAL LANGUAGEOF COMMUNICATION WORLDWIDE.
8. IT has also alleged that this policy promotes centralization.
