Reiterating his demand for continuing with the old school text books for one more year, former Minister and BJP MLC A.H. Vishwanath on Monday cautioned the BJP government in the State against taking up revision of textbooks as a “party programme”.
Speaking to reporters after inaugurating his new office on CADA building premises on Monday, Mr. Vishwanath pointed out that there was no voice of opposition to the textbooks that had been revised by the previous committee headed by Baragur Ramachandrappa.
Contending that a lot of confusion had arisen in the present revision of textbooks, Mr. Vishwanath, who had earlier served as Minister for Primary Education, said the present government was degrading the education system in the State.
