New Delhi: Several students organisations including Student’s Federation of India (SFI) , Progressive Students Union (PSU), All India Students Association (AISA) and All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) held a massive sit-in to voice their anger against the ruling government in center against the alleged Privatization- Commercialization, Centralization and Communalisation of Education.
The protest was joined by thousands of students hailing from several states of India.
The students in the protest demonstrated their anger through sloganeering and raising placards while some of them exhibited their discontent thorough street plays.
In today’s India, there are different schools for poor class, middle class and the higher class. On the other hand privatization of education can be widely seen and private education can be easily afforded by the rich class but the poor section was deprived from getting quality education as it can’t afford heavy expenses.
According to a protesters, the Allahabad High court on a judgement passed on August 18, 2015, the higher court in its judgement said that the children of ministers, government officials, government contractors or every other person who directly took money from the government should be made compulsory to educate them in government schools only
While the protesters believe that the implementation of this law will bridge the gap of education among different classes, the children of ministers, government officials, laborers and farmers will get discrimination free education under one roof.
