‘Govt. busy in event management’

Nothing concrete is being done to improve standard of education, says Hooda

The Leader of the Opposition in the Haryana Assembly, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, on Saturday said in the name of the new education policy, the Bharatiya Janata Party-Jannayak Janta Party (BJP-JJP) government was only doing ‘event management’ and nothing concrete was being done to improve the standard of education. “Education standards have been plummeting continuously in Haryana since the BJP government came to power. Instead of opening new schools, the government has closed several. About 50,000 posts are lying vacant in the education department. The fact is that 50% of the schools do not even have a head teacher. In such a situation, it is only unfortunate that the BJP-JJP government is celebrating the new education policy,” he said here.
