Tribal language education – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 recognises that many tribal children face language barriers and therefore recommends using their tribal and mother tongue languages in early education, developing local learning materials and involving community teachers.

Option A:
Ignoring tribal languages in favour of only dominant regional languages would increase alienation and dropout, which NEP seeks to reduce.

Option B:
This option accurately reflects the policy of linguistically inclusive, community rooted education for tribal learners.

Option C:
Closing all schools in tribal areas would remove access to education and is completely contrary to NEP objectives.

Option D:
Expecting tribal students to learn only through online English courses is unrealistic and inequitable.
