‘Don’t abdicate responsibility of Education’
Chandigarh: Former Union Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal has asked the Chandigarh Administration not to abdicate its responsibility of providing education to all children. In three Tweets and a Facebook post, Bansal said, if the UT Education Secretary has actually said that providing basic education is not the Administration’s responsibility and a student who fails class X examination (may be for any reason) will not be granted admission (i.e. a chance to clear it next time), it is abdication of duty and unacceptable. MHRD must immediately take cognizance of this anti-‘Sabka Vikas’ view of UT Chandigarh and honour the spirit of ‘Right of Education’ of every child, Bansal added.
