The school system of a nation must have an education plan oriented towards the future thriving on the holistic development of the students. A crucial component of the learners' developmental process is the development of their English language skills. A substantial part of educational policymaking should revolve around modernising and reinventing the current English language learning system. Based on suggestions from an expert group led by Dr. Kasturirangan, the Indian government recently released its National Education Policy on 29th July, 2020. This paper aims to investigate the position of the English language in this education policy at the school level. One of the objectives of this paper is to know and critically assess the recommendations of this education policy for English language at the school level. It also attempts to provide some insight on the challenges associated with the implementation of those recommendations with the purpose of suggesting a few solutions to those challenges. The fundamental goal of this research is to contribute to the development of English language education for Indian school students.
