After Yogi’s Yoga Push it is time for the resurrection of the educational system in UP. Yogi Adityanath who has been working 24*7 to develop Uttar Pradesh into Uttam Pradesh is not in any mood to rest. The UP CM has now instructed all Government officials to send their children to local government schools, not super expensive private schools. Education Department in its presentation to the UP CM clarified the change. Apart from this Private Schools will also be under the scanner for charging disproportionate amounts from students as school fees. Yogi has instructed the Education Department to take stern action against schools that charge exorbitant tuition fees.
The presentation at the Lok Bhawan lasted 6 hours during which Yogi was seen giving a 100-day ultimatum to revive the educational system. Students from government schools will be provided with books & uniforms during the period. Also laboratories will be set up in colleges. Teachers & schools will be provided with better educational facilities. Strict action will be taken to curb the menace of educational malpractices.
Deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya & Dinesh Sharma were also present during the presentation along with other senior government officials.
