We are in the 21st century, don’t need Macaulay’s education system: Karnataka CM

The new National Education Policy (NEP) is the need of the hour to enable Indian students to compete in the 21st century, said Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai. “We are in the 21st century and we don’t need Macaulay’s education system. Macaulay’s is a 200-year-old education system and Europe is seeking change. To suit the 21st-century needs, we need a change,” Bommai said at the India Today Conclave. Bommai further said he was part of “Macaulay’s education system and I don’t want my grandson to be a part of it. He should be in tune with the most flexible, modern and well-equipped deserving depository of knowledge”
