In the last two years, when schools were shut due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the education of children from poor families suffered the most as they could not access online classes due to lack of smart phones or net connectivity, with the Arvind Kejriwal government making no effort to facilitate their education by providing them the necessary infrastructure, said Anil Kumar.
New Delhi: Delhi Congress on Saturday said that while on the one hand Arvind Kejriwal-led government was creating easy availability of liquor to ruin the unemployed youth, and on the other hand Arvind Kejriwal tries to impress visiting dignitaries with the non-existent “Delhi Model of Education/Health Care” by showing them a specially renovated class room or a Mohalla Clinic, to cover up his non-achievement. The party said that on such occasions, Kejriwal never takes the dignitaries around his own assembly constituency but only that of his deputy, Manish Sisodia.
Delhi Congress president Anil Kumar said that in the last two years, when schools were shut due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the education of children from poor families suffered the most as they could not access online classes due to lack of smart phones or net connectivity, with the Arvind Kejriwal government making no effort to facilitate their education by providing them the necessary infrastructure by utilizing the money saved from the noon meal scheme for students, which had been shelved due to the lockdowns.
He said that in the end, students from poor families neither got their free noon meals, nor facilities for online education, and as a result, the education of Government school students suffered a grave setback.
Anil Kumar said that the CM has often boasted before visiting dignitaries about his “achievements” without disclosing that all his schemes and projects were only confined to paper and publicity, which is evident from the fact that out of the 1067 Government schools, the Delhi government has renovated class rooms of only 25 schools at a huge cost of Rs 25 lakh per class room.
“Arvind Kejriwal has not fulfilled his promise of regularizing 22,000 guest teachers, who have been agitating for the same for the past many months, while 760 posts of principals and 479 posts of vice-principals are lying vacant in Government schools,” he added.
