Research shows that children learn faster in their native language. Explore why teaching in Maithili can improve literacy rates and cognitive growth in the Mithila region.
Language is not just a tool for communication; it is a tool for thinking. According to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, primary education should ideally be in the mother tongue. For children in Mithila, starting their journey in Maithili reduces the "cognitive load" of learning a new language like English or Hindi prematurely.

When a child understands the concept in a language they speak at home, their foundation in Mathematics and Science becomes much stronger. Transitioning to other languages later becomes easier once the basic logic is clear. Promoting Maithili in schools will not only preserve our rich culture but also create a more intelligent and confident generation.
