Maharashtra Groups Announce Statewide Audit of Government Schools
Two organisations, SFI and DYFI, are planning to check government schools across Maharashtra.
Their school infrastructure audit will start on September 1.
They want to find out whether schools have suitable buildings and facilities.
The organisations say the findings should help improve school infrastructure.
They also want public education to become stronger.
They disagree with shutting rural schools just because fewer students attend them.
They believe low enrolment alone should not decide whether a school closes.
The campaign will take place across the state.
