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.
SFI and DYFI will begin a statewide infrastructure audit of Maharashtra’s government schools on September 1.
The campaign will assess the condition of school facilities across the state.
The organisations say the audit will support demands for improved infrastructure.
They also aim to strengthen public education through the campaign.
SFI and DYFI oppose closing rural government schools solely because of low student enrolment.
