Performance Grading Index: Punjab Education Minister hits out at Manish Sisodia

AAP should first check facts before politicising the issue. says Vijay Inder Singla

Punjab Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla on Sunday said Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia should first check facts regarding the status of “Learning Level and Quality” parameter in the “Performance Grading Index” released by the Union government before politicising the issue. “Delhi Education Minister Sisodia and his political party has become so scarred with the achievement of Punjab in the field of school education that he has started misleading people with false and illogical statements,” said Mr. Singla, adding that Mr. Sisodia had said Punjab had performed badly in the “Learning Level and Quality” in the recent “Performance Grading Index”. “But the fact is that if Punjab’s performance is poor then the performance of Delhi schools under the same parameter is even poorer — Delhi has scored 124 marks and Punjab 126 in the National Achievement Survey conducted in 2017,” said Mr. Singla. Mr. Sisodia should have verified facts that when the National Achievement Survey (NAS) was conducted in 2017, the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi had already completed more than two years in power while the Congress government in Punjab was just a few months old.
