Student leader Neha Bora calls for comprehensive reforms in education system
The Centre has shown little interest in addressing the concerns of students and youth, says the AISA national president
All India Students’ Association (AISA) president Neha Bora has called for extensive reforms within the education system following the government's inadequate response to student demands. During a press conference in Vijayawada, Bora criticized the Central government's negligence, particularly in handling issues such as the NEET question paper leak and the cancellation of exams.
She accused the administration of showing little interest in addressing student concerns and not engaging in constructive dialogue with protesters at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. Instead, Bora claimed, authorities responded with hostility and indifference. She alleged that political interference from the BJP and RSS-affiliated groups fueled the ongoing protest, and accused the police of attempting to disrupt the movement.
Bora's 60-year-old fasting activist, Sonam Wangchuk, was removed from the hunger strike site amid accusations of personal motives and religious division. Despite the Union Education Minister's resignation, Bora argued that the crisis stems from systemic issues and called for a complete overhaul of the education system, criticizing privatization, centralization, and the National Testing Agency (NTA).
