Reluctant to sign up for PM-SHRI due to 3-language formula: CM
The New Indian Express|September 28, 2024
PUTTING forth a strong plea for the union government to release the pending funds under Samagra Shiksha scheme quickly to Tamil Nadu considering the future of 43.94 lakh students, Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday made it clear that the three-language formula factored in the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) remained the primary bone of contention for the state in signing the MoU to adopt the PM-SHRI scheme for schools.
Reluctant to sign up for PM-SHRI due to 3-language formula: CM

Stating that the genuine request of Tamil Nadu about the language formula may be considered, Stalin in the memorandum submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said, "The state of Tamil Nadu is willing to sign the MoU for PM SHRI with minimum modifications incorporating the constitutional protection to the State concerning the language formula." This is noteworthy since School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi in his response to the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan earlier this month on this issue had said that the state's "objections relate to specific elements like the three-language formula and curriculum changes". The state had also earlier opposed the new system proposed by the NEP instead of the existing 10+2 system prevalent in schools.
