Reportedly before the lok sabha elections, PCC Chief Jitu Patwari seems to be very active. State congress President Jitu Patwari has asked six questions to State chief minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. Jitu Patwari has asked questions to cm Mohan Yadav by tweeting. He has raised these questions before the cm regarding the education system. While asking questions on his X account, PCC Chief Jitu Patwari said that the number of children in government and private schools is continuously decreasing in the state. Patwari wrote that cm Dr. Mohan Yadav himself has been the Higher education minister, in such a situation he should come before the people of the state and tell why the number of children from government and private schools is decreasing?
1. In the last 10 years, Rs 1.50 to 2 lakh crore has been spent on school education in Madhya Pradesh, yet during this period the number of children in government schools has reduced by 39 lakh and in private schools by 65 thousand.
2. There was a budget provision of Rs 27 thousand crore for school education in 2022-23. Out of this, Rs 15205 crore was spent. In 2010-11, the number of children in government schools was 1 crore 5 lakh, whose number decreased to 66.23 lakh in 2021-22. Why?
3. During this period, there were 48.49 lakh children in private schools, whose number decreased to 48.29 lakh in 2021-22, thus 65 thousand children were reduced in private schools. Will the government present the current situation to the public?
4. It is also worth noting that in 2020-21, where there were 1.17 crore children from classes 1 to 8, only 1.15 crore were left in 2021-22. This decline is also when the process of opening 370 cm Rice Schools started in the state.
5. However, according to the government claims during the mentioned period, the number of students in 1.25 lakh schools of the state was stated to be 1 crore 60 lakh, this includes children from government and private schools. But this figure seems as doubtful as the government claims.
