AISEC Opposes School Closures, Releases Education Policy
A group called AISEC is against shutting down government schools in Karnataka and wants more teachers hired.
They created their own plan called the People's Education Policy (PEP) to be different from the current NEP 2020.
PEP supports teaching everyone, using science, and being fair.
They also suggest schools should use both the mother tongue and English.
AISEC is worried about the government’s plans to close or merge schools because of low enrollment, which they believe is a result of the NEP 2020.
AISEC opposes the closure of government schools in Karnataka.
The organization released a draft People's Education Policy (PEP) as an alternative to NEP 2020.
PEP promotes mother tongue and English through a two-language formula.
The policy recommends secular, scientific, democratic, and universal education.
AISEC is concerned about the Karnataka government's plans to merge schools.
