PANAJI: AAP on Thursday blamed the state government and chief minister Pramod Sawant for 23 schools closing since 2019, while criticising the government’s move to merge schools.
AAP Goa’s vice-president Ramrao Wagh said that Sawant’s thoughtless actions are destroying the legacy of former chief ministers Bhausaheb Bandodkar and Manohar Parrikar who worked to secure the future of Goan youth through their emphasis on accessible and quality education for all.
Party vice-president Pratima Coutinho said the recent decision to merge more than 200 single-teacher primary schools with nearby schools, as well directing high schools and higher secondary schools to adopt an anganwadi in their vicinity, were nothing but knee-jerk reactions to critical reports and information highlighting the failure of the BJP government in the education sector such as the recent CAG report, the National Achievement Survey Report, and Unesco’s State of Education report.
