Education Minister Criticizes DMK Over Tamil Medium Enrolment Decline
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has intensified criticism of the DMK party, accusing them of hypocrisy regarding the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The minister’s remarks come amidst concerns over a significant drop in student enrollment in Tamil medium schools, which Pradhan claims contradicts the DMK’s professed commitment to Tamil language and culture.
Pradhan’s statements highlight the ongoing debate surrounding the NEP 2020, which the DMK has strongly opposed. The Education Minister’s comments suggest that the DMK’s opposition to the NEP is inconsistent with the party’s actions, particularly concerning the educational opportunities available in the Tamil language.
Further details about the specific data on enrollment declines and the government’s response are expected to be released shortly.
