The Tamil Nadu state Cabinet on Sunday postponed the implementation of the uniform system of school education, saying the system has “not been devised to improve the overall quality of education”.
Holding that the proposed uniform system of school education has not been formulated to improve the quality of education of students, the Cabinet, which met under the leadership of chief minister J. Jayalalithaa for the first time after she assumed charge on May 16, decided to constitute an expert committee to find ways and means to improve the system.
“This will not ensure the overall improvement of education. The schools can follow the old syllabus for this year,” a resolution adopted at the Cabinet meeting said.
TN govt had decided to postpone the reopening of schools till June 15.
