These are for incentivising our education field.” In a statement laid in the Upper House in response to a question by Baidya on whether any time limit has been fixed to achieve the target of GDP allocation for education, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said, “The Centre and states work together to increase the public investment in education sector to reach 6 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the earliest.” Ram Gopal Yadav (SP) also asked how long will the government take to meet the target of increasing public investment on education as a percentage of GDP to 6 per cent, considering it has increased from 4.07 per cent of GDP (states and Centre combined) to 4.32 per cent in five years.

Replying to a question on how much importance has been given to regional languages in the National Education Policy (NEP), or whether regional languages would be introduced up to the university-level by P Bhattacharya (Congress), Pradhan said giving importance to local language and mother tongue is one of the primary strategies of NEP. The policy has given utmost importance to promoting critical thinking in school or higher education by making a student learn in a language that she or he is most comfortable with, which is known as the mother tongue or local language. “AICTE has already started translating engineering course books to respective languages in some parts of southern India, some parts of western India and some parts of eastern India… Also, already 14 institutions have started teaching in local language. Local language has to be given priority,” he said. Pradhan also said the entire focus of NEP and Samagra Shiksha is for improvement of quality of education where dropout ratio will be reduced and PM Poshan Abhiyan is also an ambitious programme in that direction. “Upgradation of education quality, teachers education quality, all these we are very much focussed on, in consultation with the states. We are committed to improve the quality of teaching and learning process up to the 21st century expectations,” he said. The minister was responding to a supplementary question by Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharyya of CPI(M) on the steps taken by the government to reduce dri Dharmendra Pradhanropout rate.
