Dear Editor
In a recent statement, UGC urged all university rectors to allow students to write exams in their native language, even though the courses are taught in English. It discusses the promotion of NEP 2020 and the regular use of mother tounge in educational institutions. According to the notice, the NEP emphasizes the importance of teaching the students’ native language. It emphasized the importance of optimizing communication in all languages for better cognitive performance and the development of learners’ holistic personalities. The announcement also promotes the teaching and learning of the native language at higher education institutions across the country. Pupils from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds in particular will benefit from this.It is therefore vital to support and encourage such initiatives.
