Madras High Court orders uniform school syllabus
Posted on: 11/Jun/2011 12:50:30 AM
The Madras High Court on Friday stayed the operation of an amendment to the Tamil Nadu Uniform System of School Education Act indefinitely postponing the implementation of the “Samacheer Kalvi Thittam (uniform system of education) introduced by the previous DMK Govt.
Disposing a batch of petitions, the First Bench, comprising Chief Justice M Y Eqbal and Justice T S Sivagnanam however said "the order of stay shall not operate as a bar for the government to conduct a detailed study of the common syllabus and common text books".
The Bench said "we are prima facie satisfied that amending the Act, in effect repeals or indefinitely puts on hold the implementation of the Parent Act. At this stage, it is to be borne in mind that the Parent Act has already been implemented insofar as Class I and VI from the academic year 2010-11."
However, the court made it clear that the stay of the amendment to Section 3 of the Act should not be a bar for the Tamil Nadu government to conduct a detailed study of the common syllabus and common textbooks.
