Earlier today, the Democratic Teacher Front (DTF) Punjab state chief, Digvijay Pal Sharma slammed former Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia after the latter visited and inspected the schools of Punjab, alleging that the education situation in Punjab has deteriorated in the three years of Aam Aadmi Party government.

He also highlighted that 50 per cent of posts for Principals, 45 per cent of posts for Headmasters and 40 per cent of posts of Block Education Officers are lying vacant.

Speaking to ANI, Digvijay Pal Sharma said, “Former Delhi Manish Sisodia visited and inspected the schools of Punjab. I express my strong opposition. AAP, during the 2022 Vidhan Sabha elections, had two important promises in its manifesto. The first was education, and the second was health. The education situation in Punjab has deteriorated in the three years of their term. 50 per cent posts for Principals, 45 per cent posts for Headmasters and 40 per cent posts of Block Education Officers are vacant.”
