Notwithstanding the Tamil Nadu government’s continued opposition to the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), Governor R.N. Ravi backed the policy on Monday, hailing it as a comprehensive document that opened new vistas in the education sector. According to him, the value and the worth of the policy was not being fully appreciated as many people had not read it fully.
Delivering the presidential address at the 13th convocation of the Tamil Nadu Open University (TNOU) in Chennai, he said most of the people he had interacted with had only read the opinion articles about the NEP in the media, and not the policy itself.
