Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Thursday hit out at the Delhi Education Minister Atishi for regarding the news of more than 17,000 students failing for the second time in class nine results of Delhi government schools and claimed that it has exposed the claims of giving world-class education by her. Sachdeva alleged that the Delhi government schools are o purpose failing large number of students in class nine and 11 to show better results for class 10 and 12. He claimed, “The BJP has been consistently saying that the education level in Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's government schools is deteriorating and that the government deliberately fails a large number of weak students, especially in classes 9 and 11, so that fewer students take the class 10 exam and the government can show better results for classes 10 and 12.”
He said the Delhi government has degraded the standards of school under its control. “But now the figures of Class 9 that have come out clearly show that removing thousands of teachers from teaching duties and assigning them to administrative and other tasks by the government has completely degraded the school standards,” he asserted, adding that it is shameful that instead of encouraging students to study regularly in school and pass, the Delhi government is forcing students to go to open school.
