BJP: Don’t block aspirations of students by rejecting NEP

A day after Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami made an assertive statement that TN would not accept the National Education Policy (NEP) as it promotes three-language formula, the BJP hit back saying that the state government was hindering the aspirations of students, who want to learn other languages.

BJP president L Murugan in a statement on Tuesday blamed the AIADMK government for not allowing the aspiring students to learn Hindi or other regional languages. When the Centre’s NEP allows students to learn other languages like Hindi, Telegu, Malayalam and Kannada, why the state should barricade it.

The situation has changed from 1960 to 2020, so many changes have occurred, and the NEP is promising with an overall objective of strengthening the system across the country. The NEP could not be adjusted to meet the criteria of states, it is designed for the welfare of the students, he said. Parents, students and school authorities are ready to accept the new education policy, but the state government is not accepting the policy giving linguistic reasons.
