'ETHIRKAALATHAI SOORAIYAADUM NEET..." - ACTOR SURIYA ISSUES STATEMENT WITH A STRONG MESSAGE; REQUESTS ALL PARENTS AND EVERYONE TO DO THIS!

Education is a big tool for students in government schools to improve their life. When those hail from a poor background and those who are rich have different options for education, a one test for all like NEET is a huge injustice that is being done to students hailing from an impoverished background.

Of those who study in government and government-aided schools, only 20 per cent progress to higher education. For their future, telling them that they’d have a shot at collegiate education only after cracking an entrance test post 12 years of schooling is a big injustice.

Many’s dreams of becoming a doctor has been killed because of NEET. For students’ sake, such tests are a big danger. Tamil Nadu has appointed a commission headed by Justice AK Rajan to look into the issue. The public can register their sentiments about NEET by way of an email to neetimpact2021@gmail.com by June 23. Please do this.

In a country like India which is multi-cultural due to various factors, education needs to remain a state right. All political parties need to come together in this regard to protect education as a state right.*
