Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday accused the previous SAD-BJP and Congress governments of Punjab for turning a blind eye to the government school education in the state. None of the government in past ever took initiatives to revive the education system and make it as good as the private education system.

Reacting sharply on the report of CAG  report that as many as 1,170 primary schools in Punjab are running with single teacher and 572 upper primary schools with less than three teachers,  AAP state convener, Gurpreet Singh Waraich said it is the mockery of education system in state and poor and underprivileged people are deprived of their right to education.

He demanded that the government must take strict action against those responsible for ruining the generation by not giving them chance to get good education.

Waraich said that the 1362 Crore fund received under Sarv Shiksha Abhayan were not released by the previous Parkash Singh Badal government. CAG also raised finger on the embezzlement in the fund released for purchasing school books and uniforms of students.

He demanded that a case must be registered against those responsible.

AAP convener suggested chief minister Captain Amrinder Singh to revive the education system in state on the terms of Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government.

He demanded to increase the education budget as Delhi government did. Waraich assured that AAP will help and
appreciate if government seriously makes efforts to revive the education system in state.
