Arvind Kejriwal comments on Assam's new school merger move

With the Assam government deciding to amalgamate/merge schools with others schools recording zero pass percentage in class 10 examinations, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal remarked closing schools is not the solution.

Kejriwal tweeted, “Closing schools is not the solution. We just need to open many new schools all over the country. Instead of closing the school, improve the school and make education right.”

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has been mulling action against schools that registered zero pass percentage in HSLC (High School Leaving Certificate) and AHM (Assam High Madrassa) examinations-2022.


The government has started taking action against 34 government/provincialized schools and 57 recognized venture schools with zero pass percentages in the HLSC/SHM examination this year.
