New education policy poses threat to multicultural, multilingual and multiracial society of country : Tript Bajwa

Chandigarh, Aug 19 (UNI) Punjab Higher Education Minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa expressed grave concern at the draft of the new education policy released by the central government.
Addressing a seminar organised by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the unaided colleges here on Monday, the Minister said that the new education policy if implemented would pose a challenge to the multicultural, multilingual environment of the country. He said that though the policy reiterates India as a Democratic Republic with Justice and Equal Opportunities for everybody but the word ‘Secular’ has been omitted which is a cause of concern for the religious and linguistic minorities of the country.
Mr Bajwa said that the new policy is being imposed as part of a conspiracy to downgrade Punjabis. He also said that the draft of the policy is printed in each language of the country except Punjabi. The new policy advocates centralisation of every aspect of education which would take the education sector out of the ambit of the states. He said that each state has different needs in the academic sector depending upon their own culture and language but this aspect would be negated with the new policy.
