Schools run by DMK leaders teach Hindi only because of centre’s education policy: CM Stalin

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: In a bid to debunk BJP’s argument that Hindi is being taught in CBSE schools run by some DMK leaders, party president Chief Minister M K Stalin stated that the union government’s education policy is to be blamed for the situation and not any individual, irrespective of their political alignment. In the seventh part of his letter series in party organ Murasoli, Stalin said that anybody, whether attached to a political party or not, can run a school by obtaining the necessary permissions. If Hindi is being taught in these private CBSE schools, the union government’s education policy is the reason,” he said. “There are thousands of private state board schools as well, where three-language policy has not been implemented and Hindi is not taught compulsorily,” he added.
