Cancel NEET, it is Against Interest of Students, Says Tamil Actor Suriya Sivakumar
Tamil actor Suriya Sivakumar wrote a letter on behalf of his NGO Agaram Foundation stating that the National Eligibility Entrance Test is against the interest of students and it should be cancelled. In the letter, Sivakumar said, “It is only imperative that we rightfully keep the government and change-makers informed about the concerns in exams like NEET, if not such common exams can sabotage the future of our children.” “For a country like India that is diverse in language and culture, it is only fair if the education system is in the hands of its state. “Of the 40% marginalised students studying in government schools and 25% students studying in government-aided schools in Tamil Nadu — only 20% students’ avail higher education,” added the actor in the letter. Earlier, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, MK Stalin had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to cancel the NEET 2021 exams due to the pandemic.
