Employment for youth, uniform syllabus in focus

COIMBATORE: The Democratic Youth Federation of India will discuss the implementation of uniform syllabus and employment for educated youth in Tamil Nadu at its State conference here from September 24 to 27.

The DYFI had campaigned for uniform syllabus and Government jobs for the educated unemployed youth.

Therefore, the conference would take stock of the situation in the State now with regard to these issues, DYFI State secretary S. Kannan told presspersons here on Monday. “The 13 {+t} {+h} State conference will discuss measures to ensure the welfare of the youth in Tamil Nadu,” Mr. Kannan said.

“The DYFI had been opposing the high fees in private schools for many years. We had attributed this situation to the privatising of education. Now, parents are also protesting against high fees,” he said, in reference to the issue over the Government-constituted committee fixing fee rates in private schools.

“The Government should prevent schools from collecting exorbitant fees in order to ensure the right to education for all,” he said.

A rally would be taken out on the last day of the conference, in the presence of Communist Party of India (Marxist) Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury.

DYFI president Sriramakrishnan and general secretary Tapas Sinha would take part in the events on the final day, he said.
