In his speech during the conclave, PM Modi has also insisted to take up the learning as a journey of 'learn-to-read' to 'read-to -learn' as the country is moving towards strengthening its literacy foundation. Thus, it aims to achieve this by enabling a class-III students to read about 30-40 words in a minute. Most importantly, the classrooms should not be restricted without four walls.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also pointed out that pre-school is the first schooling experience for every child. Thus, the teachers have to make learning a fun experience right from the pre-school by introducing activity-based learning and discovering-based learning. 
Furthermore, the NEP 2020 has highlighted the importance of developing scientific and mathematical thinking among students. Therefore, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is a process of continuous hard work of various stakeholder's efforts for more than four to five years. Yet, the work is still in progress and it has a long way to go. The road ahead is to ensure its effective implementation says, PM Modi.
