State BJP President, Ernest Mawrie, on Thursday informed that the party held a meeting to discuss the new National Education Policy (NEP) and that party members were of the opinion that Khasi or Garo should be a compulsory subject for all students in the state till Class V. Besides, the party also wants all schools in the state, whether government or private or run by religious and social organisations, should be brought under the purview of the NEP.
