Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi continued to voice support for the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and contended that the policy encouraged Tamil in higher educational institutions.
The NEP had a greater emphasis on education, including higher and technical, in regional languages, he said in a message issued on the eve of the Independence Day. He also voiced support for measures to get more students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines and for introducing Tamil in them. “Today, a student with STEM background has much better career and professional opportunities than others. We need to introduce measures in schools for encouraging more of our students to go in for STEM disciplines,” he said.
