Chief Minister M. K. Stalin on August 29 called upon parents not to force their dreams on their children and instead allow them to pursue the educational stream they are interested in. The CM also asked students to improve their English-speaking skills.
"A majority of those who have completed Class XII are rushing towards medical- and engineering colleges. If only they realised the huge employment opportunities available in other streams, the rushing towards medical/engineering courses would not happen. Both students and parents should be aware of other streams," Mr. Stalin said after launching a training module under ' Naan Mudhalvan' scheme.
During the event in Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation and a total of 47 organisations for developing skills of students pursuing higher education, in the presence of CM Stalin. He also launched a portal for the scheme.
