Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa on Friday questioned the AAP government’s claims over the condition of state-run schools, alleging its education model had been a failure.

He slammed the state government’s “Sikhya Kranti” initiative, which he said was a mere “public relations gimmick”. Under the campaign, which lasted for 54 days from April 7 to May 31, the government inaugurated upgraded infrastructure in over 10,000 schools. “It is appalling that 856 of 1,927 government schools are functioning without principals. Our teachers are retiring while waiting for promotions. Schools are being run without leadership,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
