Quality education, healthcare not freebies: Arvind Kejriwal in birthday address
Hindustan TimesAam Aadmi Party national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday offered the central government a proposal to use the services of every state to make health and education free in the country for all citizens. The AAP chief said the Delhi government is spending an average ₹2,000 per person annually to provide free health services to its people, and that it can be replicated across the country for 1.3 billion people at a cost of ₹2.5 lakh crore. “If we want to be rich like other developed countries, four things need to be done – first, all existing government schools will have to be redeveloped; second, more government schools will have to be opened; third, all temporary or ad hoc teachers will have to be regularised and new recruitment of teachers will have to be done on a large scale; fourth, teachers will have to be given quality training, if needed they will also have to be sent abroad like we did in Delhi,” he said. If we make all government schools in India like Delhi, every child will study and can enrich his family,” he said.
