The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) will hold ‘Kadana Bheri’, a public meeting of the student community, on August 1, at Parade Grounds, to expose the failure of the State government, and how the education sector has suffered under the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) regime.
At a press conference here, ABVP State secretary Chintakayala Jhansi said that the government had reduced budgetary allocation for education from 11% in 2014 to 6% now, destroying the education sector. Moreover, 8,624 government schools have been closed by the BRS government, while 6,800 schools are functioning with just one teacher - and this is when 15,000 teachers posts are vacant.
How can the quality of education improve when 578 mandals out of the 596 mandals do not have Mandal Education Officers, she asked.
