Won’t Accept Education Policy Even If Centre Offers Rs 10,000 Crore: MK Stalin

MK Stalin has said he is firm on his stance of not implementing the National Education Policy in Tamil Nadu even if the Centre offered to provide Rs 10,000 crore in funds to the state.

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has said the opposition to the National Education Policy (NEP) is not merely over the “imposition of Hindi” but there are several other factors that would have serious consequences on the future of students and the social justice system.

Addressing a Parent-Teachers Association event in Tamil Nadu’s Cuddalore, Mr Stalin said, “We are not opposed to any language but will remain firm in opposing its imposition. We are not opposing the NEP only for the attempt to thrust Hindi but for several other reasons as well. The NEP is regressive. It will drive students away from schools.”
