Move education from Concurrent to state list: Stalin asks Centre
Stalin said all subjects that have a direct connect to the people should be brought under the Constitution's state list, and, in particular, education
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin today batted for shifting education to the Constitution's state list from the concurrent list.
In his Independence Day address, Stalin announced that approximately 55,000 vacancies will be filled in various government departments.
He said all subjects that have a direct connect to the people should be brought under the Constitution's state list, and, in particular, education. Only if education is moved to the state list of the Constitution, qualifying examination methods like the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) can be completely scrapped.
Following the deaths by suicide of a teen, a medical student aspirant, and his father over alleged NEET-related stress, Stalin on Monday (August 14) urged President Droupadi Murmu to immediately give her assent to a state Bill that seeks to exempt Tamil Nadu from the ambit of the qualifying test.
Stalin delivered his Independence Day address from Fort St George in Chennai, the seat of power, after unfurling the national flag.
