On Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan
Mr. Poyyamozhi said that with the onset of the Northeast monsoon, the decision to declare school holidays would rest with the respective district collectors.
Speaking to the media, the Minister encouraged students to approach the public exams with confidence, advising them to overcome exam anxiety by self-assessing their performance in half-yearly and quarterly tests.
He further highlighted the State’s commitment to education, stating, “The Tamil Nadu government has allocated a higher budget to the School Education Department, enabling the State to become a top-performing one with the highest Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) at 62%. It is unfair that the Central government has not provided adequate funds, especially for the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). For the past few months, the scheme has been running solely on the State’s contributions.”
The Minister also emphasised the State’s efforts in enhancing school infrastructure. “Under the Professor Anbazhagan School Development Scheme, over 3,000 school buildings have been repaired or newly constructed. Additionally, ₹1,000 crore has been allocated this year, increasing the scheme’s total funding to ₹7,500 crore,” he said.
