Taking a strong exception to the State Government’s proposal to seek financial aid from private schools to run government schools, educationist V.P. Niranjanaradhya said that the present Congress regime was proposing to implement what it opposed in the National Education Policy 2020.
Speaking at the launch of his book Shikshana Kathana in Shivamogga on Saturday, Mr. Niranajanaradhya said education was a fundamental right and the State had the constitutional obligation to ensure every child got education.
“The government is going after private schools and corporate companies with begging bowls to run the schools. This is highly disappointing. The turn of events in the last four-five months has shown that the change in regime in Karnataka has not brought anything better for the education sector”, he said.
