MP Assembly Elections 2023: AAP manifesto promises free education, teacher regularisation

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal in Madhya Pradesh presented a unique set of "guarantees" aimed at transforming the state's education system. He vowed to establish high-quality schools offering free education. Kejriwal promised to improvise government schools in the state.

Kejriwal claimed of having better government schools in Delhi than the private schools of Madhya Pradesh. He said what the country needs is 'one nation, one education (equal education for all) and 'one nation, one treatment' (rich or poor, equal treatment for all).

Kejriwal challenged that in the tenure of 5 years parents will start enrolling their children from private schools to government schools of the state. The education in the government schools will be completely free.

The minister also focused upon the temporary teachers, who are protesting demanding permanent status. Kejriwal said. "we gave permanent status to 12,000 temporary teachers in Punjab, just like that we will give permanent status to all the temporary teachers in Madhya Pradesh".

Kejriwal also talked about controlling the unnecessary increase in the fees of private schools. According to him, for around 8 years AAP govt has not allowed the private schools of Delhi to increase their fees. The same thing his govt enures to do in Madhya Pradesh.

“Never allow them (BJP) to implement 'one nation, one election' system in the country as it is only during polls that political parties take care of people and promise them to give everything, even the moon if they ask for it. They talk to you very sweetly (during elections),” Kejriwal said.
