India's National Education Policy 2020

India's National Education Policy 2020 mandates mother-tongue instruction until age 12 and flexible degree structures, affecting 250 million students across 22 scheduled languages, yet faces opposition from 35% of state governments who view it as cultural imposition. This overhaul is 50% more ambitious than #7's student loan forgiveness plan in scale, targeting a diverse, multilingual population. Comparative to #5's blanket ban, this policy sparks controversy by attempting to balance linguistic diversity with national identity, a trade-off that has stalled implementation in key states like Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
