Vijayawada, Telugu Desam Party National President and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu hailed the new education policy which was rolled out by the Narendra Modi headed BJP-led NDA government at the Centre to usher in educational reforms in accordance with the changing times globally. Mr Naidu welcomed the decision, in favour of the mother tongue, as the medium of instruction to the students up to 5th class. He said that the new education policy was in the nature of making the students well-prepared to take on the emerging competition in the world. In a statement here on Thursday, the TDP Chief said the new education policy would usher in significant changes in the country’s education sector. ”It is necessary to mould the students into a highly motivated and competitive youth in today’s competitive world.” The new education policy came in a conflict with the YSRCP Government’s efforts to desist from implementing the mother tongue medium in government schools in Andhra Pradesh. The TDP, other opposition parties and civil society had strongly objected to this but the government went ahead. The Courts have also found fault with the state government’s drive to implement English medium as the medium of instruction.
