Welcoming the State government’s decision to teach skill education under competency-based National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF), BJP MLC Shashil Namoshi has demanded that the government teach it as a separate and additional subject instead of giving an option to opt for it in place of third language.
In a media note released here on Sunday, he said that giving the option for selecting either skill education or third language will deprive students of an opportunity to learn either of the subjects.
“Three-language policy is now in force. Learning Kannada, English and Hindi will help students communicate at State, international and national levels respectively and this will throw open job opportunities for them. Now, the government is going to ask students to opt for skill education under NSQF in place of third language. If they opt for NSQF education, they will be deprived of learning a language. I demand that the government teach NSQF skill education as a separate subject,” Mr. Namoshi said.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
