Senior Congress leader Mohammed Ali Shabbir alleged that the state government, headed by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, has completely neglected the education sector and ignored the problems being faced by teachers’ community.
He was addressing the Teachers’ Day Programme organised by the National Solidarity Committee at Gandhi Bhavan here on Saturday.
He said that Rao came to power in 2014 on the promise of providing free KG to PG education. However, his government has ruined the entire education system across all levels. He said over 4,000 primary schools were shut down while hundreds of junior and degrees colleges were closed. Universities were deprived of funds and none of them has had a full-time Vice-Chancellor in the last six years.
