TN will oppose regressive NEP: Appavu
Tirunelveli : Tamil Nadu assembly speaker M Appavu on Saturday said the Union govt was trying to force the state to adopt National Education Policy (NEP) but the state govt will continue to oppose it as it was against the welfare of Tamil Nadu and its people. He was addressing ‘Petrorgalai Kondaduvom’ event held in Tirunelveli to honour parents of school students who donated towards development of govt schools.
“In 2014, Tamil Nadu govt accepted the NEP for compulsory education for children from 1 to 14 years of age. Around 99% of students in the state now go to school till Class VIII while 89% attend till Class XII. The gross enrollment ratio for higher education is 51%,” he said.
School education minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi said the state govt has introduced various schemes just for students, which teachers and parents should be aware of and make use of to the fullest. Earlier, youth welfare minister Udhayanidhi Stalin inaugurated the event via videoconferencing.
