AIDSO holds convention to condemn closure of government schools
The All Indian Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) Karnataka State Committee organised a State-level convention on Sunday to condemn the government's decision to close more than 6,000 government schools in the name of Hub and Spoke Model Schools.
Many educationists and activists from across the State took part in the convention and provided their suggestions to strengthen government schools.
Ajay Kamath, State Secretary, AIDSO, addressed the gathering and said, 'We need to know who benefits from the closure of government schools. Private schools are taking advantage of the fear of parents about the future of their children due to the lack of basic facilities in government schools. The governments are abetting this. For the benefit of a few, government schools are collapsing. A family is spending 82% of their household income on their education and health. The dreams of our great freedom fighters, Netaji and Bhagat Singh, have not been fulfilled. As they expressed their concern, the independence of our country has gone to the rich. In this situation, education is not available to the common people.'
