Regional languages like Bhojpuri, Magahi, Maithili will be the medium of instruction in elementary schools of Bihar in future, state Education Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary said in the assembly on Wednesday. Replying to a question during a debate on the budgetary demand of Rs 38,035 crore for the Education Department, the minister said, the idea behind adopting regional language as the medium of instruction in elementary schools is to teach students in their mother tongue so that they grasp concepts in a better way.
Referring to the Centre's New Education Policy (NEP) which aims at increasing public investment in the education sector to reach 6 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the earliest, the minister said, "I am happy to announce that the state government has achieved the target of spending 6 per cent of the GDP on education.
