“There were 17.75 lakh students in government schools in 2013-14. It came down to 17.04 lakh in 2014-15 and 16.77 lakh in 2015-16. Is this their revolution in education?” Maken asked.
He said the figures in the report are all taken from official sources such as the ‘Baseline Data for Vision 2030’ or Delhi Statistical Handbook. Maken alleged that the government deliberately removed the data from its website.
“Education is simply a publicity stunt for the AAP. Apart from reduction in students, the board exam results have been the worst in recent years,” he said.
