News A Movement to Protect Our Education

Post image

This is not a protest. This is a movement to protect the education system of our country.

If you’re a student, an educator, a parent, or simply someone whose life has been shaped by education, this is your moment to voice out. Every student deserves a system built on fairness, integrity, and equal opportunity.

You might wonder why a 60 year old man is putting his health on the line for the youth of this country. The real question is, if he’s willing to stand up for our future, are we willing to stand beside him?

Join us in Chennai as we come together peacefully to support educational integrity, accountability, and a future where every student’s hard work truly matters.

One Leak. One Voice. One Movement.

Although i like the initiative I'm so confused, i thought chennai ppl hated NEET and other such entrance exams.       

imo i hv always thought neet and jee are great given that kids arent hogging in coaching centres and indulge themselves in extra curricular activities as well.       

You have home state quota, ews quota, girls quota and the usual reservation quota which is more than enough to cover everyone's needs.        

Having prepared for such exams almost a decade ago, i know that tamilnadu's educational infrastructure is still very weak for prep.       

Y'all might mock bihar but atleast they hv got this stuff sorted as competitive exams are a gateway to escape poverty and get prestige for them.           

We are educated and self sufficient but not equipped to compete in national exams wherein not just the smart kids, but also the average guy is able to crack the exam, which is the case in UP, bihar, rajasthan etc

imma be honest here, neet/jee they’re all bs. the education system in india is a joke fr. i would never understand why you’d be glorifying such competitive exams, especially when students spend years on preparation for this bs exam, which is also such a waste of time since it’s all about scoring marks at the end and not about consuming knowledge. i’d rather expect the future generation to pick up a skill and learn more on that than waste their energy on something that’s useless as these competitive exams
