Pariksha Pe Charcha 2022: Don’t force your ‘unfulfilled’ dreams on students, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with students, teachers and parents in Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC), on Friday at Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi.

PM Modi talked about New Education Policy (NEP) and said that it is a ‘National’ Education Policy and not a ‘New’ Education Policy. He said that the policy was drafted after a lot of brainstorming with various stakeholders.

“Consultation for National Education Policy has been exhaustive. People across India were consulted on this” he said.

He said that the 20th century education system and ideas can not determine our development trajectory in the 21st century. He further said that we would be left out and go back if we don’t evolve with the changing systems.

He said that National Education Policy gives the opportunity to follow one’s passion and stressed the importance of skill along with knowledge.

He said that’s the reason to include skills as part of the National Education Policy.

PM Modi asked the parents and teachers not to force their unfulfilled dreams on the students.

“Unfulfilled dreams of teachers and parents cannot be forced on students. It is important for every child to follow their own dreams” said the Prime Minister.

He urged the parents and teachers to accept that every student has some special ability and to discover that.

Pariksha Pe Charcha is an annual event in which the Prime Minister interacts with students and responds to questions related to examination stress and studies.
