This is also against the education policy of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
According to the above draft policy, if the students who do not pass all the subjects of one semester are not allowed in the next semester, the Duration of Study will be extended and the interest in their studies will decrease and the suspension will increase.
The new system that the federal government wants to introduce is crueler than the NEET selection system. Everyone should know that this will kind of drive students out of academia. The act of disrupting the education system that has been created by working for hundreds of years. Poor, simple marginalization is against the interests of students. In addition, work is underway in line with the Chief Minister’s announcement that a committee will be set up to formulate a state education policy. ” Minister Ponmudi Said.
