AAP ought to first examine information earlier than politicising the problem. says Vijay Inder Singla
Punjab Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla on Sunday stated Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia ought to first examine information relating to the standing of “Learning Level and Quality” parameter within the “Performance Grading Index” launched by the Union authorities earlier than politicising the problem.
“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,” stated Mr. Singla, including that Mr. Sisodia had stated Punjab had carried out badly within the “Learning Level and Quality” within the latest “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,” stated Mr. Singla. Mr. Sisodia ought to have verified information that when the National Achievement Survey (NAS) was carried out in 2017, the Aam Aadmi Party authorities in Delhi had already accomplished greater than two years in energy whereas the Congress authorities in Punjab was only a few months previous.
“Besides, as the NAS could not be conducted in November 2020 due to the pandemic, Punjab had to be satisfied with the old performance. But this time Punjab was fully prepared and had the NAS been conducted, its schools would have also achieved top rank in this parameter too. Punjab has never given political tinge to its movement to bring in qualitative improvement in education.”
Misleading propaganda
Mr. Singla stated his Delhi counterpart has been pointing fingers solely at Punjab and never at Chandigarh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andaman & Nicobar that are additionally forward of Delhi simply because it’s eyeing political mileage within the ensuing Assembly polls in Punjab by its deceptive propaganda.
“Moreover, in Delhi all the 2,000 primary schools are being run by the MCD. There are three corporations and all have BJP majority and BJP Mayor. And 1,031 high and senior secondary schools are being run by the Delhi government led by the AAP. On the other hand, there are 19,000 government schools including 13,000 primary and 6,000 high and senior secondary, which are exclusively run by Punjab government. To bring in qualitative improvement, the government in collaboration with teachers and philanthropists here and abroad has succeeded in converting the drive into a mass movement, which has resulted in sprucing up of the infrastructural and quality education facilities in the government schools.”
