Advancing Linguistic Equity Through the National Education Policy 2020: A Critical Analysis of the Impact and Implementation of Multilingual Education on Inclusivity and Policy Trajectories

Abstract

Bi/multilingual education significantly impacts students' cognitive development, enhancing their ability to think critically and creatively. It also promotes cultural awareness and sensitivity, which are crucial in today's globalised world. Additionally, this report discusses some methods for effective implementation of bi/multilingual education, such as promoting the usage of mother tongue as a essential medium of educational instruction, introducing foreign language courses, and providing language learning opportunities through digital platforms. The findings of this paper provide key insights for policymakers, educators, and practitioners on the effectiveness and sustainability of these approaches in promoting long-term learning outcomes. Moreover, exploring the long-term impact and implementation of bilingual/multilingual education on students' learning and development can provide valuable insights into the influence of this approach on society as a whole. Therefore, this research on bilingual/multilingual education can have significant implications for the future of the education system as well as workforce development.

Background: This paper aims to explore the impact and implementation of bi/multilingual education in achieving linguistic equity under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Research has shown that promoting bi/multilingual education can lead to linguistic equity and cognitive benefits for students. However, implementing such programs requires adequate teacher training, resources, and support from the government.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact and implementation of bi/multilingual education in achieving linguistic equity under the NEP 2020, with a focus on the necessary teacher training, resources, and government support.
Methods: The research method will involve a comprehensive review and analysis of secondary sources, including academic journals, government reports, and policy documents.
Findings: The findings of this research will shed light on the impact and implementation of bi/multilingual education in diverse contexts, providing insights into the benefits and challenges of this approach.
Research Gap: However, the long-term impact of these programs and methods to incorporate different concepts have yet to be extensively researched in existing studies. Therefore, it is important to conduct further research to fully understand the effectiveness of bilingual/multilingual education in different contexts and to develop strategies for successful implementation. The following study aims to address this gap by reviewing existing literature on the long-term impact of various programs and methods to incorporate new concepts in different fields. This research contributes to the limited literature on the impact and implementation of bi/multilingual education in diverse contexts, by examining both the benefits and challenges of this approach.
