Vinod Kumar bats for law on protection, welfare of private school teachers
The HinduFormer MP and Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader B. Vinod Kumar has condemned the comments made by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy slighting the teachers working in private schools during an interactive session with those working in government schools on Friday and demanded a legislation for protection of private teachers. Speaking to newspersons here on Sunday along with former MLC N. Laxmana Rao, Mr. Vinod Kumar said the government should not view government and private teachers separately as education had become a fundamental right in August 2009 and 51% of school-going children — 30.5 lakh out of 59.45 lakh — were admitted in private schools as per the 2022-23 statistics. On the Chief Minister’s comment that private schools were employing even those who had failed Class X as teachers, the BRS leader said it was the fault of the government as proper monitoring would avoid such discrepancies. He requested the Chief Minister to focus on the migration of students from government to private schools stating that about 2 lakh migrated during the current academic year.
