Education system now an exclusion system designed to keep millions of youth out: Rahul

Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, recently criticized the Indian education system, labeling it an "exclusion system" that pushes millions of youth out. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Gandhi stated, "If you don’t have money, power, or don’t speak English, the system will push you out without a second thought." His comments came in an Instagram post featuring a video of his recent interaction with a group of students.

The remarks were made following a conference held by the Congress party, where Gandhi expressed his concerns about the current state of the education system in the country. He further criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that when the latter goes, the students will follow. This assertion was made during his recent visit to Chennai, where he gathered students for an event called the 'Voice of Students'.

Gandhi's criticisms extend beyond the education system, as he also called for Congress party members to resist both within Parliament and on the streets. Additionally, he suggested that the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, should resign. Gandhi's critiques come as part of his ongoing campaign to engage with students across various regions in India through his 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' initiative.
