As the Union Cabinet cleared the new national education policy on Wednesday, the Opposition alleged that the Narendra Modi government is destroying India’s education system. “Bypassing Parliament, ignoring the opinion of State governments and rubbishing opinions of all stakeholders, the Modi government is unilaterally destroying our education system. Education is in the concurrent list of our Constitution. It’s illegal for the Centre to impose an education policy,” he said.

Yechury said the CPI(M) had opposed the NEP 2020 inside Parliament for 'several important reasons' and it is being implemented without any Parliamentary approval.

He said various elements of NEP 2020 are being rolled out in various parts of the country in an 'ad-hoc piecemeal manner' without discussing it with important stakeholders like the state governments, students, teachers, non-teaching staff, educationists and other experts.

"This is creating grave uncertainties and confusion regarding the actual direction proposed for the Indian Education system under this new policy by your government," Yechury wrote. He said the omission of the mention of quota is one particular issue that is causing 'great anxiety', especially among SC, ST, OBC communities and the disabled.
