Explanation

The main objectives of NEP 2020 are the first five points, not the sixth statement.

There should be no hard separations between different subjects and streams.

Multidisciplinarity and holistic education across all subjects are promoted.

Emphasis falls on conceptual understanding rather than rote learning and learning-for-exams.

Creativity and critical thinking for logical decision-making and innovation are encouraged, along with multilingualism.

More focus on summative than formative assessment is wrong, as NEP favours regular formative assessment.
