The reply came when Delhi CM said, “Closing schools is not the solution. We just need to open many new schools all over the country. Instead of closing the school, improve the school and make education right.”
Giving a befitting reply to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma asked him to do his homework properly. The reply came when Delhi CM said, “Closing schools is not the solution. We just need to open many new schools all over the country. Instead of closing the school, improve the school and make education right.”
Arvind Kejriwal took the jibe at the Assam government’s decision to take action against schools that registered zero pass percentage in HSLC (High School Leaving Certificate) and AHM (Assam High Madrassa) examinations, 2022.
Replying to Kejriwal’s comment, Sarma said, “Dear Arvind Kejriwal Ji - As usual you commented on something without any homework!
Since my days as Edu Minister, till now, please note, Assam Govt has established/ taken over 8610 NEW SCHOOLS; break-up below. How many new schools Delhi Government has started in last 7 yrs?”
Sharing the progress in the figures in terms of schools in Assam, Biswa stated:
- Provincialisation or taking over pvt schools into govt fold since 2013: Elementary 6802; Secondary 1589
- Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya:81
- Netaji Subash Chandra Bose Avashik Vidayalaya:3
- Adarsha Vidyalaya:38
- Tea Garden Model School:97
“Curious to know Delhi's figures!” The Assam CM further interrogated.
Further countering Kejriwal's tweet, Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika wrote on his official Twitter handle, "Firstly, schools in Assam are not being closed, rather amalgamated to improve the overall educational environment! Secondly, respected CM @ArvindKejriwal ji have no rights to speak on educational upliftment as his fake 'Delhi Model Schools' have been busted from time to time."
