SHILLONG: The state Congress has formed a committee to study the national draft education policy.
The matter pertaining to the draft education policy was discussed in the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting held on Thursday night.
Opposition leader Mukul Sangma said the committee comprising CLP members will discuss the policy with Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee members and have an exhaustive study of the document with inputs from academicians. The committee will share its concerns with the All India Congress Committee as it feels that there are “certain issues” in the document which are irrelevant and cannot be applied in Meghalaya.Sangma said the Centre cannot apply the same yardstick everywhere as India is a diverse country and “policymakers in New Delhi need to realise it”.
He added that there are many areas in the policy which are worrying and there are agenda which would go against the interest of the people and dilute the federal structure.
