The CPI(ML) Liberation is to launch a one-month campaign seeking reforms in the education sector which will begin in Patna with a public meeting on September 6. It will highlight issues ranging from inadequate school and college infrastructure to concerns over the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP).
To achieve this, several primary and secondary schools were upgraded. Mr. He noted that a significant number of participants at the protest came from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and that the campaign was an extension of efforts by the party’s student wing, the All India Students’ Association (AISA).
“On paper, every panchayat in Bihar has a school up to Class 12.
But the upgrade often exists only on paper, with schools functioning out of four classrooms and lacking boundary walls, libraries and other basic infrastructure,” he said. Bhattacharya said the campaign builds on the momentum generated during the recent student-led protests at Jantar Mantar.
Mr.
Bhattacharya also claimed that AISA’s organisational footprint had expanded significantly since the Jantar Mantar protests, with new units being established in cities and towns where the student organisation had little or no presence earlier, including Mumbai.
The campaign will conclude on October 5 with a public meeting at Jadavpur University in West Bengal.
