“A committee from Punjab should visit the schools of Delhi and hold discussions with Delhi’s education minister to make our schools better,” said AAP MLA Baljinder Kaur. Punjab spends just 10% of the budget on education whereas in Delhi, 26% of the budget is spent on education. When the state has just 10% budget for education, then how can one expect good result?” she questioned. Another AAP MLA Budh Ram asked the government to fill vacant posts in all schools and efficiently run district-level institutes for education and training (DIET) which train the teachers. AAP legislator Aman Arora claimed that private schools were operating like “shops” in Punjab and charging exorbitant fee from parents.
