Which of the following is NOT true of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 on the study of foreign languages?

Correct Answer: Study of foreign languages included as one of the languages under the three language formula.

Explanation:

Under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, foreign languages such as French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Portuguese are recommended to be offered at the secondary stage as an additional option. This allows students to learn about world cultures and enhance their global mobility according to their interests.

However, the foreign languages are not part of the Three-Language Formula. The Three-Language Formula focuses primarily on Indian languages (including regional languages and native Indian languages) to promote multilingualism and national integration, with at least two of the three languages being native to India.

Therefore, the statement that the "Study of foreign languages included as one of the languages under the three language formula" is NOT true regarding NEP 2020.
