Jaunpur, 09 November (Hindus). Yogi government has already closed 26 thousand government schools and plans to close 27000 more government schools in the current academic session 2024-25. Angered by this policy of the Yogi government, the Aam Aadmi Party is carrying out a state-wide agitation. In the same sequence, on Saturday, Aam Aadmi Party workers, under the leadership of Purvanchal in-charge Anurag Mishra, demonstrated strongly against the closure of government schools, raised slogans against the Yogi government and gave a memorandum addressed to the President to the City Magistrate.
On this occasion, Purvanchal province in-charge Dr. Anurag Mishra said that Yogi government is anti-education government. Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar had said that education is the milk of a lioness, whoever drinks it will roar. Yogi government wants to stop Dalit, backward and economically weak poor from studying. That is why government schools are being closed. Aam Aadmi Party will not tolerate this, we demand that the schools which have been closed should also be opened. District President Ramratan Vishwakarma said that the government is deliberately giving recognition to non-standard private schools near government schools so that the student population of government schools reduces and gives them the opportunity to close them. Under the new education policy this year, the Yogi government banned admission in government schools under the age of six years, whereas this rule was not strictly implemented in private schools, due to which children deprived of admission in government schools went to private schools. And suddenly the number of government schools decreased. Also, by issuing a letter, the Yogi government said that the schools having less than 50 students will be closed and merged with a nearby government school. District Vice President Murali Manohar said that lakhs of unemployed people in the state are waiting for vacancies in the hope of getting a job, while on the other hand, the Yogi government is closing 50,000 government schools and making TET qualified youth unemployed and forcing them to roam on the streets. .
