SEP is akin to NEP, says Thamizh Desiya Periyakkam

The Thamizh Desiya Periyakkam has observed that the State Education Policy (SEP), released on Friday, was akin to the National Education Policy (NEP).

In a statement, TDP general secretary K. Venkatraman said that several elements in the SEP were refined or remodelled of the ones that existed in the NEP. For instance, while the NEP speaks of “Schools of Excellence”, the SEP calls them “Schools of Success”.

Further, the SEP tends to adopt the merger of schools concept, annexing the middle and high schools with higher secondary schools, an idea that already figures in the NEP, he pointed out.
