3-5 Lakh children have No access to primary schools in capital and MCD decides 15 schools may be turned into malls, hotels
Praneet Sushil
"Universal schooling of decent quality could be the single biggest move it makes towards future prosperity."
One side Govt promises free and quality education through RTE bill for each and every child between age 6 to 14 and other side corporation with builders are auctioning the school lands for malls and hotels.
Another black face of primary education system as
· MCD says there are more than 60 schools lying vacant and unused even MCd faces increasing pressure to cater to more students and report says 45 out of selected to be sold schools are using by MCE for different purposes other than education?
· There are more than 9 lakhs students mainly from poor or migrant families enrolled in MCD and experts point out that 3-5 lakh children in the city have no access to primary schools
· Proposed 15 schools are in good condition in land but to be sold off to earn few good bucks.
· Delhi Govt. however repeatedly asked the MCD to handover the campuses to it as state govt. run schools are overflowing with students and lack space and infrastructure.
Same approach what YFE is taken on few proposals we need to urgently write a letter to MCD commissioner, MCD standing committee chairman and state govt. concern deptt.
