Education is the secret to a better life for you and your family. Future growth of a country depends mostly on building a large stock of "human capital" which is the culmination of education. Future innovations, creative products, productive ideas are created by capital, which contributes to economic growth. So, education should be our biggest investment for the future.

The NEP proposes that Mother tongue or regional language should be used as a medium of instruction till class 5. But on-ground realities are something different.

1. Parents want their kids to be in good-quality English-medium schools. Even the poor ones send their kids to private schools just to ensure that their child is in an English medium school and learns English.

2. Teaching social sciences in the local language is possible, but science and mathematics won't be easy.

3. More than 100 million people are migrants, moving from one state to another. For such students, English is the most convenient and portable language. Learning 2-3 languages in early childhood is more effortless and manageable than later.

4. What about after class 5? When the child doesn't know any other language?

So, there are many challenges. In short, the ground realities are different and the implementation of such policies is a long-term process.
