In letter vs letter on NEP row, Dharmendra Pradhan's ‘rise above political differences’ advice to MK Stalin

Hindustan Times  

Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday urged Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin to "rise above political differences", after the latter wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and opposed linking of two centrally Dharmendra Pradhan requested MK Stalin to "think about the interests of the young learners". “The continued opposition to NEP 2020 for political reasons deprives students, teachers, and educational institutions in Tamil Nadu of the immense opportunities and resources that this policy offers. In his letter to the prime minister, the Tamil Nadu CM had said linking of Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan and PM SHRI Schools with the National Education Policy is ‘fundamentally unacceptable.’ However, Pradhan stated that centrally-supported schemes such as SSA, are aligned with NEP 2020, while PM SHRI schools have been conceptualised to be 'NEP exemplar schools.' Stalin's letter to PM Modi, Pradhan further remarked, was a ‘complete negation of the spirit of cooperative federalism promoted by Modi government.’ “Hence, it is inappropriate for the state to view NEP 2020 with a myopic vision and spin progressive educational reforms into threats to sustain their political narratives.
