Haryana Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda
The Haryana government has been under attack from the opposition over the alleged poor education system in the state, with the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party targeting the BJP-JJP regime over closure of schools, staff shortage and large number of vacant posts. ,
While former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda accused the government of abolishing 20,000 teachers’ posts across the state, AAP leader Anurag Dhanda said the closure of government schools was aimed at promoting privatization of education and vowed that His party will not allow the state government. To be successful in your plans.
During a press conference in Rohtak during the weekend, Mr. Hooda said that due to the new transfer policy of teachers, there has been a huge shortage of staff in many schools of the state. He alleged that instead of filling the vacant posts, the government was doing away with those posts and their subjects from the schools.
“The government has so far abolished the posts of around 20,000 teachers. While the truth is that the posts of about 38 thousand teachers are lying vacant in the schools. Thousands of youths are waiting for recruitment, but this government is going to eliminate the vacant posts without recruitment.
Citing a reply to an RTI application, he compared the work of the Congress government with that of the current government.
“From November 2014 to April 2022, this government opened only eight new schools and upgraded only 463 schools in the state. While the government has so far closed a total of 196 schools. Three days ago the government closed 105 more schools. During its rule, the Congress government had made Haryana a hub of education,” he said.
Appealing to parents and teachers not to allow the government to close 105 schools, AAP leader Anurag Dhanda said in a video message on his Twitter account that the Haryana government does not want the poor to be educated.
He said that the work done by Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia for the improvement of government schools is being recognized worldwide, but it is a matter of shame that the Haryana government has ordered the closure of 105 schools.
‘Scam not probed’
“While the government has let the CBI loose on Mr. Sisodia, no government agency will investigate the scam of privatization of education in Haryana. This exposes the anti-education face of the government. But you will not allow even a single school to be closed. We are committed to the education of the poor. We will stage dharnas in these schools and also appeal to the people and teachers not to allow the closure of the schools,” said Mr. Dhanda.
