DMK wants Puducherry to adopt education policy of Tamil Nadu
The Leader of the Opposition and DMK convenor R. Siva has called for the Puducherry government to adopt the Tamil Nadu Government's new State Education Policy. In a statement, Mr. Siva stated that whereas the National Education Policy (NEP) was a design of right wing ideology and exclusionary of weaker sections, the State Education Policy recently formulated by Tamil Nadu Government was socially inclusive and a vision document for the future for students, and society at large. The DMK leader pointed out that the Tamil Nadu Education Department had scrapped the examination system for certain classes and confined it to only Classes 10 and 12, virtually derailing the NEP plan to expel vast sections from the education system by conducting tests in the 5th, 8th, 10th and 12th standards. The Tamil Nadu policy as announced by Chief Minister MK Stalin also also emphatic in its adoption of a bilingual policy (English and Tamil) and rejection of a third language as sought be imposed by the NEP. Further, the policy promotes comprehension and learning without rote learning and gives priority to girls education and gender equality, he added. The DMK urged for Puducherry, where the school system had been aligned with the Tamil Nadu State Board, to follow TN's education policy. He pointed out that while Puducherry and Tamil Nadu had largely followed similar patterns of development and welfare, the tenure of the AINRC-BJP NDA government had marked a departure in the field of education by migrating all government schools to the CBSE pattern under pressure of the Centre, Mr. Siva contended. The DMK convenor also stated that the transition had already taken a toll on the student community and threatened their future continuance in the education system. He warned that the DMK would mobilise a mass agitation if the government refused to heed calls for safeguarding the future of students by reverting to the Tamil Nadu education system.
