Hyderabad: Telangana State unit BJP chief N Ramacahnder Rao expressed distress over the collapse of the state's education system under Congress rule. Pointing out that while the national average budget allocation for education stands at 14.5 per cent, Telangana allocates a dismal nine per cent, which he called shameful.
He said that since Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy holds the education portfolio and he should take responsibility for the sector's decline. He challenged the Chief Minister to visit Osmania University hostel where he had studied and speak with students to understand their deplorable living conditions.
Faulting the Chief Minister’s statement that he would resolve teachers' issues in the coming two years, the BJP state chief questioned what a government incapable of delivering in three out of its five years could achieve in the remaining two.
He highlighted that retired teachers are suffering without pensions, while serving teachers face delayed salaries and promotions. Due to unpaid fee reimbursement dues, private colleges are forced to pay faculty half-salaries. He expressed anger over unfilled professorships at universities and vacant teaching positions in schools.
Demanding that the government refrain from damaging technical education in the name of integration, he assured polytechnic students of full support. He promised that the BJP would safeguard their courses and certificates.
He asked the Congress government, which boasts of bringing thousands of crores in investment from Davos trips, to release a comprehensive White Paper detailing the actual number of industries established and jobs created. He made it clear that the BJP will not tolerate any attempt to impose a curriculum contrary to Indian culture and heritage.
Rao advised the government to respect teachers and safeguard their high standing in society rather than humiliating them. He stated that the credit for driving employees, students, farmers, teachers, and electricity workers onto the streets goes solely to this government.
He affirmed that once the BJP assumes power, it will significantly increase the education budget, transparently fill all vacancies across universities and educational institutions, prioritise research, and comprehensively strengthen the education sector.
