The political debate intensified after an old video of a government school in Punjab surfaced. Arvind Kejriwal, citing the school visit of Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains, put forward the reforms done in government schools.

Punjab: Aam Aadmi Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal hit back at the conspiracy to defame the Bhagwant Mann government by tweeting an old video of a government school in Punjab. He shared the video on Twitter of Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains visiting that school to know the truth and said that education and health are the first priorities of the Aam Aadmi Party. The Education Minister’s visit to the school is proof of this priority. Our government first improved the government schools in Delhi, now it is improving the government schools of Punjab. He said that basic facilities have been provided in most of the government schools of Punjab and the remaining children will also be provided in some schools soon. This is the reason that today many government schools of Punjab are competing with the biggest private schools in terms of education and facilities.

Education and health always priority of AAP: Kejriwal

On Tuesday, AAP’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said that I am very happy that today education and schools are being discussed in the entire country and it has become a mass movement, which should have happened long ago. Education and health have always been the two most important issues for Aam Aadmi Party and we believe that no country can progress without providing excellent and free education and health care to its citizens, as these are the foundation of any country’s development.

Claim of improvement in Punjab’s schools after Delhi

Arvind Kejriwal said that AAP made many reforms in the government schools first in Delhi and then in Punjab, due to which many schools have now become better than the best private schools. There are thousands of such examples in both Delhi and Punjab where parents have shifted their children from private schools to government schools.

Basic facilities will soon be available in other schools also

Arvind Kejriwal said that the work of improving government schools in Punjab is going on and basic facilities have been provided in most of the schools except a few. Soon the remaining schools will also have these facilities. Today many government schools of Punjab are competing with the best private schools in terms of facilities and quality of education.

Reference to Education Minister’s visit on old video

Arvind Kejriwal said that today someone had posted an old video of a government school in Punjab. I am happy that the Education Minister himself visited that school to take stock of the ground reality and people must read the Education Minister’s report.
