Tamilnadu to get its own education policy

The DMK government in Tamilnadu will appoint a High Level Committee of educationists and experts to formulate a distinct State Education Policy (SEP) for the Tamilnadu in keeping with the historical legacy, present situation and future aspirations of the State.

It may be noted that the DMK has been opposing the New Education Policy introduced by the Centre.

Presenting the budget in the State Assembly, Finance Minister Palanivel Thiagarajan said the DMK Government is determined to ensure that Tamilnadu is brought within the first three States in terms of learning outcomes in India.

He said all teachers will be able to receive technology enabled monitorable and evidence based training through the 40 tablets to be supplied to each of the 413 Blocks at a total cost of Rs 13.22 crore.

The Ennum Ezhuthum Mission to ensure foundational literacy and numeracy will be implemented to ensure that by 2025 all students in Tamilnadu by age 8 are able to read with comprehension and possess basic arithmetic skills.
