Basavaraj Bommai, a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former Chief Minister of Karnataka, has called on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to rethink the decision to eliminate the National Education Policy (NEP) from the state’s academic curriculum starting next year. Bommai expresses concerns that this decision would adversely impact the education and future prospects of Karnataka’s children.
Addressing the matter, Bommai stated that the abolition of the NEP by the current Congress-led government would be a significant disservice to the children of Karnataka. He highlights the NEP as a progressive and essential legislative framework for education and expresses concern over its discontinuation.
Bommai underlines the sentiments of parents who have already voiced their dissatisfaction with the decision to scrap the NEP. He asserts that the people of Karnataka are steadfast in their opposition to this move and emphasizes that the BJP will stand united with the citizens to protect the interests of the state’s children.
“We are aligned with the people of Karnataka in safeguarding the future of our children. The NEP is integral to our education system and its benefits must be retained. I appeal to Siddaramaiah to reconsider the entire proposal of discarding the NEP,” urged Bommai, emphasizing the importance of retaining the policy for the welfare of the students.
The previous BJP-led government in Karnataka had implemented the NEP, which aimed to bring about substantial reforms in the education sector. However, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s administration has announced its intent to abolish the NEP from the next academic year. This decision has sparked concerns and debates about the impact on the quality and direction of education in the state.
As discussions continue about the fate of the NEP in Karnataka, Bommai’s appeal underscores the significance of this policy in shaping the educational landscape and fostering a brighter future for the students of the state.
