Govt school repairs, teacher vacancies, digital access: CJP poses 6 key questions to education ministers
Abhijeet Dipke said that even after 80 years of independence, government schools in India lack access to safe drinking water, functional washrooms.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has penned an open letter to all state education ministers in India, posing six crucial questions about the state of government schools across the nation. Abhijeet Dipke, the founder and convener of CJP, expressed concern that even after 80 years of independence, these schools still lack essential facilities such as safe drinking water, working toilets, proper classrooms, and benches.
Dipke urged the ministers to prioritize the condition of public education and work towards rapid improvements, emphasizing that every child deserves a safe learning environment, regardless of their background. The letter was released as part of CJP's ongoing 'School Thik Karo' campaign, which involves leaders and volunteers inspecting the conditions of government schools nationwide.
The campaign commenced on August 15, with Dipke visiting a school in his hometown of Santuk Pimpri, Maharashtra's Hingoli district. Despite the campaign's progress, CJP has faced obstacles, including facing attacks and being denied access to certain schools. The group has announced a peaceful march from India Gate to Delhi Police headquarters on September 5, calling on the government to fulfill commitments made on July 25 concerning student FIRs, compensation for NEET victims, and the implementation of promised actions.
