MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, stated on Tuesday that education must be moved from the Concurrent list to the State list in order for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) examination to be abolished.
In a remark that assumes significance in light of the death of a NEET examinee after failing to clear the exam for a second time, the CM said, “Education should be moved to the State List, as this is the only way NEET could be abolished. Tamil Nadu is contributing to various sectors such as Education. Medicine, economy, agriculture, human resource, and export, among others,” he added.
Earlier Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin criticised the central government following the death of a father and son over the latter’s failure to clear the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), saying that the state will fight against the exams “legally”.
He continued by saying that NEET not only killed children but now even their parents. He continued by saying that the Centre needed to comprehend the mental health of Tamil Nadu students and their families. He also claimed that the Governor had neglected his responsibility to revoke NEET twice in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly by shelving and returning it.
