As per the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), 2005 the Constitution of India perceives multilingualism as a resource. We should talk about medium of education instead of medium of instruction. The need is to explore the role of language in education and the role of language in a child's life, since language is not content, but language gives life to content. Studies have shown that bilingual or multilingual people are capable of greater cognitive flexibility and creativity, and perform better academically than monolinguals.
