Kerala Joins PM SHRI Scheme After Resisting NEP 2020 Amid Financial Pressures
Kerala has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to join the Centre's PM SHRI scheme, a significant shift from its previous resistance to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The CPI(M)-led government had criticized NEP 2020, citing concerns about its right-wing agenda, communalization, privatization, and centralization. This decision to join the PM SHRI initiative, aimed at developing 14,500 model schools, appears influenced by the state's financial pressures and the desire to access central funds.
