Left student organizations SFI and TSU jointly organized a protest rally on Friday with three-point demands including stopping the implementation of the new National Education Policy, stopping the degradation of school education.
The rally started from the front of the Chhatra Jubo Bhavan Melarmath, Agartala and traveled various streets of the city.
Attending the rally, SFI State Secretary Sandipan Deb said that the BJP government has formulated a new education policy by avoiding the Parliament during the Covid. This education policy has been brought forward by the government to destroy the education system of the country. This education policy is the education policy for rich. And efforts are underway to implement RSS’ blueprint to privatize the education system through this new education policy.
“The former education minister Ratan Lal Nath tried to follow the central directives of the education system and the current education minister and chief minister also tried to follow the national education policy of centre” he said.
He expressed fear that it will destroy the education system.
He complained about the current education system and said that there is a crisis of teachers in the schools.
In this situation, there is no other option but to hit the street, said the SFI president.
