New Delhi, Aug 16, 2022: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday announced free and quality education for all students in government schools in Gujarat in a pre-poll promise ahead of upcoming Assembly elections.

 

"All those born in Gujarat will get free and quality education. We will provide the best education for free," said the AAP convener, addressing a town hall at Bhuj in Kutch district.

Arvind Kejriwal also promised to improve the infrastructure of existing government schools and set up a large number of new ones across the state if his party comes to power after the Assembly polls due by the year-end.

He said that if AAP forms the next government in Gujarat, all private schools will be audited and made to return "extra money" collected from parents like his administration has been done in Delhi.

He added that if AAP forms a government in Gujarat, the service of teachers working on a contract basis will be regularised and they will be offered job security.

It will also be ensured that government schoolteachers are not given non-teaching jobs, the AAP leader said.

Kejriwal, during his earlier visits to Gujarat, had announced a host of pre-poll guarantees related to electricity, jobs, unemployment allowance, women and tribals, among others.
