Stalin to chair DMK district secretaries meeting on August 13

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin will lead DMK district secretaries meeting on August 13, focusing on membership expansion and education policy reforms.

"We will never allow pirooku in our education. Our policy aims for samathuva kalvi and pagutharivu kalvi. – MK Stalin"

Chennai, August 8

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has called upon the party's district secretaries for a meeting, which is scheduled to be held on August 13.

The meeting will be chaired by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK chief MK Stalin around 10:30 AM at the party headquarters in Chennai.

The meeting will mostly be about the membership drive of the DMK.

This announcement comes after the Tamil Nadu government released the State Education Policy (SEP) amid opposition to the National Education Policy (NEP).

Earlier today, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin said that the SEP has been curated while keeping in mind the "unique character" of the state and announced that the state will only follow a two-language policy.

"Through this education policy, we don't want students just to mug up, but think and get educated. Physical education will be taught along with studies. Importantly, I want to say firmly that we will follow two two-language policy and it is our firm policy," Stalin said while addressing the gathering at Anna Centenary Library Auditorium.

The Chief Minister informed that smart classes will be introduced under the newly released SEP.

"We are going to make a change in education, our aim is to educate all. Nobody should be left out," Stalin said while emphasising the need to teach rational thought in education.

"We will never allow anyone to stop education. We will not allow pirooku (reactionary thinking) in our education. Our state education policy aims to create samathuva kalvi (equality) and will be a pagutharivu kalvi (one with a rational thought). This will serve as a platform to compete with international standards of education," Stalin asserted.

While I appreciate the focus on rational education, I hope this isn't just political posturing. The proof will be in implementation - we need to see actual improvements in government schools, not just announcements.

Smart classes are the need of the hour! But will rural schools get the same facilities as urban ones? That's the real test of this policy's success. #EducationForAll

As a teacher, I welcome the emphasis on critical thinking over rote learning. Our children deserve better than the outdated memorization methods. Hope other states learn from TN's example!

Interesting to see Tamil Nadu charting its own path in education. The rational thought emphasis reminds me of the Dravidian movement's legacy. Hope this brings real change to classrooms.

Physical education along with studies is much needed! Our children are becoming couch potatoes with all this online education. Good to see a balanced approach 👏
