Govt stand on schools irks teachers
Ludhiana, May 19 Mr Sarabha regretted that the Punjab Government has made a mockery of the serious and sensitive matter of providing basic free, compulsory and quality education to children of the state by issuing and contradictory statement of different ministers. The Chief Minister at one time announced the handing over of 2000 government schools to industrial houses and a few days later, denied that. The Finance Minister, Mr Singla, who is also a member of the Bhattal Committee has pleaded for closing down of the government schools in the state. Ms Bhattal, a few days ago, had said that privatisation of government schools was not on the agenda of the Bhattal Committee, but now she says the issue would be decided in June by the committee. Mr Sarabha said the Anti-Privatisation Adhyapak Morcha at the state-level convention on May 15 in Jalandhar had exposed these “designs” of the government and decided to intensify the mass struggle of teachers. A state-level protest march would be held at Bathinda on June 5 and on June 25, effigies of the Punjab Government burnt throughout the state at different headquarters and important centres.
