ABVP delegation meets Director over rampant commercialisation of education

Dehradun, March 26
In protest against the commercialisation of education, a delegation of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad met Director (Education) CS Gwal here today.

Members of the delegation submitted a memorandum to Gwal seeking his intervention in stopping the sale of books and stationery in public schools across the city.

“Students are being forced to purchase books and uniform from shops situated on the premises of public schools,” said Anshul Chawla, an ABVP worker.

Gwal has given an assurance to them that action would be taken in this regard.

They also demanded that the annual fee hike should be examined by the Director, the entrance test at the primary level should be scrapped and the admission fee be charged only once.
