Act against those responsible for poor school education: AAP

The AAP today accused the previous SAD-BJP and Congress governments of "turning a blind eye" to the government school education in Punjab and sought action against those responsible for it.
None of the governments in the past ever took initiatives to revive the education system and make it as good as the private education system, claimed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Reacting sharply to the report of CAG, AAP state convener Gurpreet Singh Ghuggi said the report shows that 1,170 government schools in the state are run by just one teacher.
"It is the mockery of education system in state and poor and underprivileged people are deprived of their right to education," he said.

He demanded that the government must take strict action against those responsible for ruining the generation by not giving them chance to get good education.
He claimed that the Rs 1362-crore fund received under Sarv Shiksha Abhayan were not released by the previous Badal government.

CAG also raised finger on the embezzlement in the fund released for purchasing school books and uniforms of students, he said, and demanded that a case must be registered against those responsible.
The AAP Convener suggested Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to revive the education system in the state like it was done in Delhi by the Arvind Kejriwal government.

He also demanded an increase in the education budget of the state.
