Education Minister Sh. Mahipal Dhanda has said Haryana has completed all preparations to implement the National Education Policy (NEP) in the state. Haryana has taken all necessary steps to take the National Education Policy to the school level.
India will become ‘Vishwaguru’ with this policy and it will bring special changes in the field of education. The Education Minister held a meeting with senior officials of the Education Department today regarding the National Education Policy at Haryana Bhawan in New Delhi.
Talking to the media after the meeting, Sh. Dhanda said Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini and former Chief Minister Sh. Manohar Lal have a dream that the youth of Haryana should not be limited to Hindi and English, but should also learn international languages.
The department is considering teaching foreign languages. He said Haryana has always been scientifically, culturally and economically strong, but it has also suffered during the tenure of other parties, but now, the government has a special focus on education. Those who have destroyed the education system can make any allegation but the new education policy is bringing a big change in the country.
Along with increasing the number of students in schools and removing the shortage of teachers, work is also being done to improve the school environment. The Education Minister said various aspects of the education policy have been discussed in today's meeting, and the shortcomings will be removed.
