AAP condemns retrograde step of Punjab govt to close down 800 elementary schools

Chandigarh, Oct 21 (UNI) Leader of Opposition Sukhpal Singh Khaira has condemned the Punjab government move to close down 800 government primary schools in the state on the pretext of merger with nearby schools and termed it as an extreme retrograde step and blatant violation of Right to Education Act , 2009.
Mr Khaira on Saturday said that the state government has decided to close the 800 Government Primary Schools and merge them with nearby schools, on the plea that these schools are having less than 20 students.
He lambasted the Capt Amarinder Singh government, that instead of providing quality and free education and increasing the number of schools in Punjab, his government has decided to close 800 schools which is gross discrimination with thousands of poor children. He said by doing so Capt. Amarinder Singh has put to risk the future of students of these 800 schools, facing closure due to this retrograde decision.
