Which of the following is NOT a fundamental principle of the National Education Policy 2020?

AHighest priority to achieving foundational literacy and numeracy
BEmphasis on conceptual understanding
CPromoting translingualism and the power of language ✓ Correct
DRespect for diversity and respect for the local context
Correct answer: (C) Promoting translingualism and the power of language
Explanation

NEP 2020 speaks of promoting multilingualism and the power of language, not translingualism, so that phrasing is not one of its fundamental principles.

Giving the highest priority to foundational literacy and numeracy is a stated fundamental principle.

Emphasis on conceptual understanding over rote learning is another core principle.

Respect for diversity and for the local context is clearly listed among the principles.

Multilingualism means valuing and using many languages, especially the mother tongue in early learning.

Foundational literacy and numeracy is treated as an urgent national mission under the policy.
