3K AAP volunteers to visit govt schools to highlight their conditions: Sisodia

Senior AAP leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday said over three thousand party workers would visit government run schools in 20 states to bring forward the condition of the educational institutions.

Addressing a press conference, Sisodia said, “In South Korea, children start learning robotics from class six and by class nine, every child must be part of a robotics club. South Korea has built AI labs for all students. On the other hand, in our villages, class XI and XII students are taught Control C and Control V, how to use Microsoft Paint and how to draw lines.”

The AAP leader claimed that around 31 crore children were currently studying in schools and colleges in India, out of which, 25 crore were in schools and 15 crore of them were in government schools.

“Nearly 90 per cent of these government schools are in a poor condition. This is the true state of the country,” he added.

“In a serious discussion involving Prabharis from 20 states, we decided that no state should suffer another Jhalawar. No innocent should die due to the anti-education policies of the BJP and the Congress. That’s why we’re going to be proactive as the AAP has formed a team of 3,000 karyakartas across India and from August 1-7, they will visit schools in 20 states to identify and report Jhalawar-like conditions,” he said.
