New Delhi, Dec 5 (UNI) Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday participated in a protest by guest teachers from Delhi government schools in front of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence, days after the Delhi CM had participated in a protest by contractual teachers in Mohali, Punjab.
As Congress and Aam Aadmi Party's battle for Punjab goes on in the state, the election heat reached Delhi on Sunday, when Sidhu reached the Delhi Chief Minister's residence to participate in a protest by guest teachers from government schools in Delhi.
In a series of tweets ahead of joining the protest, Sidhu slammed the Delhi education model, that the AAP has been boasting off in the poll campaign in Punjab, and said, "Delhi Education Model is Contract Model … Delhi Govt has 1031 Schools while only 196 schools have Principals … 45 per cent teacher’s posts are vacant and schools are run by 22,000 Guest Teachers on daily wages with every 15 days renewal of contracts."
