Next Education Minister: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned from his post. Taking moral responsibility, he submitted his resignation letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi amidst irregularities in NEET-UG examination and continuous protests by students across the country. Now there is only one question in everyone's mind that who will become the next education minister of the country? Let us know what possibilities can be created...

Why did Dharmendra Pradhan resign?

After the NEET paper leak controversy, students across the country took to the streets. The entire opposition including the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) was continuously demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. Initially the government was in no mood to accept this demand, but as the movement intensified, the pressure kept increasing. Ultimately, Pradhan himself stepped back and wrote in the letter that the interest of the students is paramount and there should not be any dispute on the education system.

Who can become the next education minister?

After the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, the name of the new Cabinet Education Minister is yet to be officially announced. According to political circles and political experts, three main possibilities are being seen regarding the name of the new minister...

1. Temporary responsibility to ministers of state

Currently, Ministers of State (MoS) Jayant Chaudhary and Sukant Majumdar are working in the ministry. Any of these can be given temporary charge.

2. Charge lies with the Prime Minister

Until the name of the new cabinet minister is approved, this portfolio can remain directly with the Prime Minister's Office.

3. New face

In the upcoming cabinet reshuffle, a senior and experienced leader can be made the full-time education minister.

What will be the big challenges before the new Education Minister?

  • National Testing Agency (NTA) and improving the pattern of competitive examinations.
  • To re-instill confidence in the exam system among millions of youth of the country.
  • To smoothly implement the New Education Policy (NEP 2020) in schools and colleges across the country.
