CJP Education Campaign Seeks Five-Year School Data
The Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, is campaigning to improve government schools.
It asked every state government to share school information from the last five years.
The group wants to know which schools were repaired and which still need work.
It also wants details about teacher vacancies and education money.
The CJP says some children do not have safe water, working toilets, good classrooms or benches.
It asked about computers, digital lessons and sports equipment too.
The party wants governments to publish the information and fix serious problems quickly.
It also announced a march in Delhi on Teachers’ Day and said the Centre had not kept promises linked to an earlier agitation.
The Cockroach Janta Party asked all state governments for five years of data on school infrastructure, teacher vacancies and funding.
It cited reported shortages of safe drinking water, functional toilets, classrooms and benches in government schools.
The party requested figures on renovated schools, schools needing repairs, teaching posts and education spending.
It also sought information about computers, digital-learning facilities, sports amenities and teachers’ non-teaching duties.
The CJP announced a September 5 Delhi march over alleged government failures, while a related Rajasthan assault allegation remains disputed.
