Pair only schools with low student numbers- Sandeep Singh
Rejecting the allegations of closing the school, the minister said that the government has not decided to close a single school. All the council schools are operating under the Basic Education Department. On the question of the admission age of children to be 4 years, he bluntly said that this is not possible because under the provisions of RTE, a similar system is applicable across the country. There is already a system of education and nutrition in Anganwadi for children aged 3 to 6 years. On the merger, the minister said that only schools with a radius of 1 km and less than 50 students have been paired.
Drinking schools have been included in resource -based schools, so that children get better convenience and access to the nearest school. Pre-primary i.e. play school and nursery classes are being conducted in vacant schools with ICDS department. So far, more than 3000 schools are working with ICDS and 19,484 ACCE has been appointed on contract.

He said that model composite schools are being built to improve the standard of education. Each school will be constructed at a cost of 30 crores and two schools will be built in each district. He said that our Yogi government is determined to take the quality of education to the height.
