00:00 Yesterday, Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, my dear friend, Shiv Kumarji, has made an
00:14 announcement on his crack national education policy.
00:20 I want to say, I want to tell my dear friend Shiv Kumarji, your facts are wrong.
00:26 Your statement is mischievous.
00:28 Your statement is regressive.
00:31 It's not looking towards future.
00:34 National education policy is not implemented from 2021.
00:38 It is implemented from 2020.
00:41 This is a visionary philosophical document envisioned by educationists of this country.
00:46 This is not a political document.
00:48 This is a philosophical document for 21st century.
00:53 What kind of message he wants to give to the youngsters of the country, especially his own state, Karnataka?
01:01 What kind of politics he is doing?
01:06 Do they not want early childhood education and care system to be implemented in Karnataka?
01:14 From the age of three?
01:17 Do they not want localised Indian toys, games and play-based learning of our children?
01:24 Especially, if I quote, do they not want Chendamane plays to be taught in early age of Karnataka students?
01:35 Do they not want our children to achieve foundational literacy and numeracy by the time they complete the grade three?
01:43 They don't want that.
01:45 Do they oppose education in Karnataka language in their mother tongue?
01:49 My dear friend, Shiv Kumar, is opposing Karnataka language, which is recommended in national education policy.
01:56 Do they not want students to learn about new emerging technology of the 21st century, which is recommended by national education policy?
02:05 Do they not want new textbooks relevant for 21st century education?
02:10 Do they not want an education which is multidisciplinary, giving equal emphasis to science, language, social science, arts and sports?
02:19 Do they not want integrated vocational education, physical education and art as critical area of study in school education?
02:29 Do they not want examinations like NEET, CUT, JEE to be conducted in Indian language, in Karnataka language?
02:38 Shiv Kumar is opposing Karnataka language entrance examination.
02:43 Do they not want youth of Karnataka to avail world class research facility through National Research Foundation?
02:50 Recently we have enacted a new law looking into the research need of the 21st century.
02:57 Shiv Kumar wants to devour Karnataka students from that facility.
03:03 Do they want to oppose opportunities for earning and learning?
03:09 Do they want Karnataka youth should not earn credit?
03:15 There should not be any academic bank of credit for Karnataka students.
03:20 Do they want the students of Karnataka to avail option of multiple entry and multiple exit in the higher education institutions,
03:29 which seems to be futuristic, welcomed by all the higher education institutions of the country?
03:35 Do they not want skill based education in the school system?
03:40 Do they not want our teachers should be capacitated with the 21st century knowledge to improvement of diets?
03:49 What kind of politics he wants to play?
03:53 Again I would like to appeal to him.
03:56 Let politics take its own route.
04:00 But we should not play with the future of our young generation.
04:04 Now India is in a position to do bigger scientific achievements like Chandrayaan.
04:11 I am again appealing to my dear friends.
04:16 They should not do politics.
